Back to Kimball's

Jordan and Buddy waiting for Mom to bring back french fries.



Sunday I decided to try the ride to Kimball's again. I had tried this in early June with horrible results and barely made it. The ride is only 42 miles but the last 15 is uphill. In the morning we went to a road race in Somerville. Annie ran another great race. The course was tough with a huge hill during the first mile. Jordan and I went out to the hill to cheer Mom along. Jordan loves to see her mom run by. We got home from the race at noon and I headed out to Jaffery. The ride was much easier this time. One problem was that they are paving a rode in Shirley and I had to ride a couple of miles on a dirt road. I think that because I knew what to expect, the hills were not as bad. The ride took about 2:45 and we enjoyed a cheeseburger and Chicken Fingers. Jordan and Buddy loved their fries. Next weekend is the climb to the clouds. Hopefully this ride has prepared me for the ride up to the summit of Wachusett.
