The Open Road

Yeah, yeah, it's been a while, I know...

Finally took my new bike on it's maiden ride out to the Quabbin Reservoir in Belchertown, MA. yesterday!

What a beautiful day for a ride!  The weather was perfect, so was the ride.  I really enjoy our rural rides just taking in the sights, taking our time and seeing the fields, open spaces and occasional farm animals.  This time of year many of the fields were being hayed, so the aroma of fresh cut hay was in the air and many a field had corn growing!

It's about 180 miles roundtrip to the Quabbin and back from my place.  Takes most of the day but well worth it.  We stopped and grabbed some sandwiches, then made our way to a scenic spot that looks out over the reservoir, grabbed a picnic table and enjoyed lunch.

A bit sore today but, again, well worth it!
