10 miles before dinner on the Minuteman, took the new bike this time. Fiddled with the seat angle, got it right the second time, then went whizzing off on a quick (for me) run up to Lexington Center and back. The fine weather and the sense that Summer is ending had brought aimless, occasional cyclists out in droves tonight, made prudent use of the bell as I passed them.
Some
nekulturny dog walker had left a bag of poo by the side of the trail in Lexington, looking like a scale model Klansman: both the outer shell and the inner beauty were about right for that. Comparable levels of social responsibility, come to think of it...
Down along Arlington's Great Meadow, nearly ran over a little garter snake that was crossing the road; I saw it in time to miss it by a few inches, and it recoiled; I wonder what it saw and heard?
Tonight's sunset colors were subtle, gentle.
Rode home and made some dinner.
