Was off today so had a chance to take an early ride out to Concord on the MM and the Reformatory Trail. Before noon the weather was fabulous for riding.
Overall it was pretty quiet, though I had a nice chat with some folks at the Bedford Depot.
Some things to report along these familiar trails.
Foundation work is under way at the new Lexington Visitor center:
Noticed that fresh gravel has been placed over several low wet spots on the Reformatory, in the area east of Hartwell Road:
Biggest news was the improvement at the Bedford/Concord line, at the eastern edge of the Great Meadows. That tricky spot with the pit and exposed drainage pipe has been cleaned up considerably:
And somebody finally mowed the tall grass at the clearing on Lowell Rd, across from Trails End:
As has already been reported by others, Lexington is going to start repaving the MM between the Arlington line and Season's four next week. Expect detours onto Mass Ave on weekdays starting this Monday.
