[bike] Revenge of the Apple Monument!
Apr. 22nd, 2007 08:16 pmTook a largish group up past Horn Pond, out through Burlington, to the Baldwin Apple Monument, and then back via Wilmington, Wakefield, and Melrose. The stated goal was a trip between 30 and 35 miles that didn't involve the bike path, and this accomplished that, coming in at 33.1. (Closer to 35 with transit to and from Davis. Route map)
This being Massachusetts, we saw all kinds of roads. In particular a half-mile stretch of MA-129 in Wilmington had no pavement at all. "Twist foot to leave bike" appears to have become a sufficiently ingrained reflex now that I failed to die when my bike hit the first patch of loose sand there. But yeah, most of us kind of walked through most of that.
