Biking is my most favorite sport ever. Especially when I get to do it with an amazing biking companion, Brooke!
Today we set out with our bikes on the T (train/subway of Boston) to Alewife Station. From there we were able to find a really nice trail that headed north from the city. As we entered the historic town of Lexington, we found the Common, or Battle Green, where the Battle of Lexington occurred in 1775.
After a short break on the Common and a tasty treat of ice cream from a local shop, Rancatore's Ice Cream and Yogurt, B and I decided to take an alternate route back home. We didn't want to just jump back on the trail, so we headed down the road. We were going just fine when the signs pointed to the interstate! We stopped to determine our next move. Luckily, we came across two nice gentlemen who allowed us to follow them and direct us on our way back into Cambridge on the local highways.
Back in familiar territory, we went along the water on trails and made our way home.
It was such a super ride along the trail, through the very sweet and wonderful towns of Arlington, Lexington, and Belmont, and back through the city to the apartment. It appears that we traveled anywhere between 22 and 25 miles! Such a successful delightful day!
