Yup, these are getting repetitive

dmazeTheories du jour on the bike bags: I'm going to Maine after getting back to Arlington; I brought lunch for 50. It didn't help that I stuffed my colder-weather clothes in on one side, so there was a lot of volume there. The weather worked out very well, warm enough to be out in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt but cool enough that there was no risk of overcooking.
I think today I was towards the head of the "slow" group. (I think getting workouts in mid-week helps a lot here.) This had the one unfortunate consequence that, leaving Carlisle for Concord, I wound up significantly behind the "fast" group and significantly ahead of the tail, but at least now I know this group's "standard" route back even if I rode it alone. The hill behind Hanscom didn't utterly slay me, and in a promising sign, coming back via Teele and climbing Clarendon Hill at the end of the ride was just fine too. Just under 49 miles in all.
