Things to do on a bike in War-Chester

1. Ride around up north of town and find the site of the school to which mary's little lamb followed her one day. For real.

2. Go on a single speed off-road bicycle ride with Richie Rich and his cute 1-braked bike:

3. Go on a dirt road ride with Grace's mom, Grace, and Grace's cute helmet:

4. Ride down to the "fairgrounds" (a parking lot 5 minutes from home) and check out Anders Osborn at Worcester's answer to Jazzfest. Drink cheap Harpoons, then ride home.

5. Ride the reservoir loop.

6. Ride the reservoir loop again, but this time on the group ride and get schooled by the bike shop dude on a three speed with a big-ass basket. The real roadies didn't know what to do when he passed them. Dude's in a band, The Terribles, too.

And that's purty much it. I'm getting stoked for a few days of riding up in Vermont next month at the Kingdom Trails - check out this write up in Dirt Rag.
