Latest Bike Route - 20 miles from Malden up around Lake Quannapowitt
It was raining this morning, but was my last chance to get out on the Cannondale all-carbon road bike I've been borrowing and riding for the past week.
Instead of my usual "wind through neighborhoods to avoid all main roads" I mapped a ride straight up Route 28 until it meets I-95/128, across Wakefield past the Converse Factory and down along Lake Quannapowitt. A beautiful ride, the best route I've done yet from an enjoyment perspective (even through I was soaking from the increasingly heavy rain).
Toward the end of the ride it started thundering and lightning...which made me a bit nervous to scurry the last few miles home.
The Cannondale goes back to it's owner today. Has been a great week of riding, that thing floats compared to the mountain bike that I usually ride.
