Took the Ebisu on a somewhat muddy variant of the North Bridge loop, out the Minuteman and Reformatory Branch, back on Monument Street, River Road, Skelton Road, 225, and the Minuteman again,
31 miles through Arlington, Lexington, Bedford, Concord, and Carlisle. Lovely Summer weather, with a breeze brisk enough to fly the flag.
I violated my policy about Reformatory Branch--don't ride it unless it's been 3 days since the last rain shower--because this year has simply been too wet (and that's not a complaint). Conditions weren't bad, with such mud as there was mostly avoidable. It was good to be back on that shady trail.
Turtle crossing at one of the swampy bits.
Up hill and down dale on Monument Street.
