Ah, it’s good to get out and enjoy the weather. Well, at least the weather was tolerable. The ground is clear of snow, but the air was still pretty chilly. My toes and sinuses were more than a little uncomfortable after my ride today. But it was worth it...
A bit of climbing took me up into the Blue Hills. When I get into better shape, I’ll try the road climb up to the top of 635-ft-tall Great Blue Hill - but not today!
You’d think that it would all be downhill from there, wouldn’t you?
I did get up to 38 mph drafting behind a truck on Randolph Ave, but then I had to climb the other side of the hill, and I was back down to 10. Ugh.
Late-afternoon sunlight glints off the trolley tracks at Milton Station:
I never did look around much at Milton Landing before; turns out it’s a very pretty area.
Relaxing a little at Tenean Beach in Dorchester...
Oh, no! Not The Birds!
Total mileage was 22. Not too bad for a chilly day in March. Let’s see how much I can improve that later this season?
Hope you enjoyed the weekend, too!
