Minuteman Trail, Cambridge, MA, USA
No pics as this unexpectedly turned into a social ride.
I drove to Cambridge this morning to start a week-long business trip. I shifted my workouts around earlier this week so I could do an easy endurance ride after the long drive today. Using everyone’s help on the forum, I decided on the Minuteman multi-use trail.
I swapped handlebars a few days ago and apparently didn’t tighten the stem enough. As I was tightening them along the side of the trail, a cyclist checked on me to see if I needed any help. I told him I was good and he kept riding. Once I finished with my bars I caught up to him to thank him. Turns out he was riding the full length of the Minuteman Trail, as I had planned to do, so we ended up chatting the entire way.
Completely unexpected and a total surprise. What a great way to spend the afternoon. Weather was perfect, too, in the uppers 80s F and low humidity (at least compared to northern Virginia).
