A nice long sprint today!

Decided to make the most of today's beautiful weather and log some miles.  I took my usual route out to Ayer then up the rail trail to Nashua then back (a 36 mile round trip ride.)  Since it was a relatively short ride and I wanted to make the most of it, I decided I'd just "push" the entire ride and just do it as fast as I could.    The bike trail was a little busy,  but not too congested and I was able to (safely) keep my pace up without running over any roller-bladers or little kids... :-)

Final stats for the ride: 18.1 mph!!   Room for improvement, but not too bad for an old fat guy.  :-)
