Sunday ride: 65 miles.

Decided to get out on Sunday and get in a quick 32-mile ride out to the Nashua River Rail trail, up to NH and back.   The sun was hot, but it was breezy and there was plenty of shade along the way.

By the time I was almost home, I decided the weather was too good to waste the day.  So, I phoned Sandy to let her know I'd be out a little longer and headed East up to the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail.  The temperature on the major roads was REALLY hot (due to lack of shade) but the bike trails and side roads were nice and shady, making for a very relaxing ride.   Rode the BFRT all the way up to the Lowell end, did a loop around the Crosspoint Towers, then headed home.

The total ride mileage was 65 miles. When I got home the tops of my legs were a little sunburned (side effect of recumbent biking) and I didn't set any record pace.  However, I had a great time and felt like I could've done another 40 miles, no problem.

Looking forward to riding around Franconia Notch, NH next week!
