Monday, February 27



Morning:

Ah, what a lovely ride! Temperature was about 10 degrees, windy. I dropped my chain in the middle of Kenmore (see photo of repair in progress). Arctic blasts crossing Mass Ave bridge. A couple of times the gusts nearly stopped me completely. Wind at my back down Mem Drive, and then the phenomenon I call The Land Boulevard Smack-Down. The smack-down occurs when there is a wind from the West that is at your back on Mem drive, but the minute you hit Land Blvd the wind is suddenly in your face. It must be the configuration of the buildings that cause this. Whatever the cause, it's not pleasant.

Evening:

Temberature about 21 degrees. A numbing, uncomfortable ride. Photo is Beacon St.
