Fixed big breakfast this morning, recovering from our evening ride yesterday. Landen “helped” Lenny get the bikes ready. We had a storm last night with lots of rain and thunder. Bikes stayed dry under awning.
We are off to ride the Bruce Freeman R/T. We started from a park in Acton. MA. This was a very hot day but this trail is nicely shaded and we had a little breeze.
We rode thru beautiful areas with ponds, wetlands, tall pines and one small lakefront community. There was a beach with public access and a very tempting hotdog stand. Drivers were always very courteous at the well marked road crossings.
There were some long up and down grades. As always love those downhills!! We stopped at a swim and tennis club for lunch break. Landen so happy running and laughing but eager to get back on the trail .
This was really a beautiful trail, well maintained and smooth. Somewhat busy the closer we got to Lowell.
We have now completed 80 miles in Massachusetts. We are off to New Hampshire on Tuesday. We plan to complete our Massachusetts 100 as we pass thru on our return to Ohio.
