I took the Checkpoint for an Easter morning ride up the Minuteman to Bedford Depot Park. It was still breezy, but not nearly as gusty as the past few days.
A lot of other folks were also inspired to enjoy the great weather. In general there were more people on foot than on bikes. Here's one of the busier spots:
Approaching Lexington Center outbound, I encountered this fellow on a bike that seemed to be propelled by pumping the handlebars back and forth, similar to rowing:
I don't recall ever seeing one of those before. It seemed rather awkward - I wonder what the benefit is.
I paused to stretch at the Lexington Visitor's Center:
At 10:30 the restrooms there were open, as was the Center itself.
It was pretty peaceful out in Bedford:
As is often the case, I had Depot Park to myself:
The restrooms in Bedford are still closed for the season. Maybe with April starting tomorrow we'll see them open soon?
The ride home went quickly: I encountered a pair of riders with a slightly faster pace, which inspired me to match their tempo most of the way back.
A pleasant ride.
