Took the OAC Rambler and rode East, on a warm and windy day; so windy that the bike nearly blew over while being photographed. Some of the apparent motion is real, this time.
Had the usual hills-and-traffic drill. Here's some traffic, on the Medford-Malden line.
And here's a hill, climbing up High Street from Medford Center towards the Winthrop Square rotary (and more traffic).
The climbs were strenuous, the traffic was dodgy, the descents were exhilarating. All conveniently located just over the nearest hill or two, and with enough of it to go around. Yup.
