What was he saying???

Life’s rich demand creates supply in the hand
Of the powers, the only vote that matters
Silence means security silence means approval
On Zenith, on the TV, tiger run around the tree
Follow the leader, run and turn into butter

OK, I have no idea what this means but it was sung on Friday night at an REM concert at "Great Woods". Our weekend started by going to see REM with the boys on Friday night. First of all you can hardly understand what Michael Stipe is singing half the time. Secondly, the other half of the time his lyrics make very little sense to me. It was a great show and a great night out. The only downside is that I got home at 12:30 and had planned on meeting up for a 7am ride. Up at 5:30 with Buddy and time to get ready for the ride. A quick check to my e-mail and I realized that my ride plans had fallen through. I decided to go it alone and was on the road at 6:40. I followed an route painted on the road. It was in the shape of a clothes hanger. I went through Littleton, Boxborough, Stow, Sudbury, Wayland, Lincoln, Concord, Acton and probably a few more. The picture above is from a farm that I road by. I think it is in Sudbury. The ride ended up being 61 miles and I was able to average 16.7 mph. I felt great the whole way. I got back to this greeting. Apparently, Jordan was working hard while I was gone.



The rest of Saturday was spent quietly.
Sunday was my Father's Day with Jordan. I was going to celebrate by going for an early ride but I awoke to a nasty day. Luckily the weather broke and I was able to get on the road at 1:00. I promised Annie that I would be home by 3:00 so I only had time for 32 miles. I decided to go through Harvard and work the hills. I had another great ride, I wish it could have been longer. I averaged 16.1 mph on this loop. It is amazing how the hills effect your average pace. Sunday night was a nice Father's Day dinner at my parents house and a quick Minuteman Meeting to get ready for Fifer's Day. If you are around Boxborough Saturday the 21st, stop by Flerra Field in the afternoon for a great time of food (prepared by the Minutemen) games for the kids, and music. I promise you will not be disappointed. Happy Father's Day to everyone.
