nosrednaydujYesterday some friends of ours were having their annual summer BBQ. Valerie and I planned to go, and I decided to bicycle there and get a ride home. It's 41 miles, which is a bit much (especially after a week of not biking), and part of it is through the city, so I decided to do it in three parts: Bike to Forest Hills, take the T, and bike from Wonderland. That gave me a 16 mile segment at the start and a 12 mile segment at the end. It could have been 10 miles, but I let Google detour me onto bike routes along the north shore coast. Then I got lost in Salem by getting disoriented about which corner I was on and took a wrong road, so it was 13.
28.71 in 2:41 for an average of 10.6. There was a lot of stopping and checking maps and phone, plus for the shoreline parts I had my choice of being run down by cars or sharing the wide boardwalk with pedestrians and other cyclists. The latter is safer, but slower. It was 11.6, I think, at the end of the first leg.
