Riding for Fun

I chose not to race today since I have been super busy and I haven't been able to ride as much as I would like to. It was a perfect day for a casual ride. I did my usual loop over to Harold Parker and Ward Reservation in Andover, MA.

Boston is back there somewhere.

Riding off road with one hand on the bar is not safe.

Pretty awesome drive train. XX and 9 speed - it works.

I guess I'll list the components for anyone who is curious.
