Today was nothing like 92 miles, nothing like intervals and buying cheese and nothing like my miserable attempts at yardwork.
Today was a beeyootiful bicycle stroll on the Blackstone River Trail. First we visited a cute, elderly couple in Cumberland who spend every warm spring day tending their incredibly lush garden.
We began our ride on the brand new northern section of the trail in Woonsocket. This juuust opened and is handsome, clean and already popular. It is perfect for familes, populated enough with walkers and "strolling" bikers that you should leave the spandex at home, take a comfort bike and put a cuff strap on your bluejeans. We headed south along the river and canal stopping to admire and, for a short while, mimic the turtles sunning. Waterfalls, bridges and spotless path made the trip smooth and pleasant. We only rode 15 miles but it was very pleasant. Next week we'll visit the North Providence to Bristol trail.
