[Bike] Bolton preview

Yesterday's bike trip was to scope out the difference between the long and short versions of the Climb to the Clouds next weekend, to try to pick between the 60, 80, and 90-mile rides. I rode out to Concord in the obvious way, then followed the arrows painted on the ground to Bolton and back. Trying to enter the route, I discovered that the arrows don't quite match up with the online version of the cue sheet. But it was a ride, 78 miles, and I survived going alone without killing myself. The end conclusion was that the extra mileage wasn't that bad, a little harder going out than coming back, two big climbs on the loop I took of which the first was 15-20 miles in from the start and the second also appears on the short route and is 20 easy miles from the end of the long route.

Also, TIGER thinks my favoritest street in the world (well, at least in Concord; less favorite than "A Street, Downtown" off of 880) is Old Road to 9 Acre Cor.
