Fantastic bike ride

Today I ventured out with Malte, Marty, Anita, and Peter to Concord via a string of side roads and back country roads. A quick Google Maps estimate puts it at about 17.2 miles between my place and downtown Concord, so approximately 35 miles in all. The weather was beautiful, and, technical issues aside (Anita's flat before we even left, my busted pedal), we had a great time. It's really nice to hit stretches where the road is nice and smooth and there aren't too many cars. A great idea would be to map out the smoothest ~30 mile ride possible from Boston. When the roads are smooth you're finally set free from staring at the immediate road ahead to steer clear of big potholes and can finally just look all around and soak in the view.
