We ain't drunk - we're just dodging potholes

Yo - what's up TLY, VC, Puk, and BB? We've been busy buying a house.


Spring is mostly here, but it was washed in by huge rains this past weekend that took big chunks of pavement downstream. I've never seen anything like this - out on Belmont street there are places where you can see the old cobblestones that must be at least 100 years old or so. Not that I'm complaining it's 60 and sunny here and I got out for a nice ride to the east. We are fortunate that Boston's sprawl dwellers still find Worcester repulsive enough that there is a nice buffer of open spaces and quiet roads (if you know where to look) between here and where the big city's westernmost ex-urbs begin. This includes a nice quiet area over where the Tufts Vet School is.

Beyond that, there are plenty of good places to ride north and west of here. Last week, Kris and I got out for a short ride around Mt. Wachusett - only 12 miles, but some nice ups and downs plus a little dirt road ridin' and a nice view of the big wind turbines.


We checked out the White Mtns. last week and came away pleased - damn - real mountains:, big time skiin' etc:

Check out this ride: DDRR
