Tuesday, February 7

Morning:

Weather: Around 32, sunny.

Quality of Ride: Very good - right at Kenmore (see photo), I blew the light while the Comm Ave inbound and Brookline Ave inbound sides had the green light. This can sometimes be dicey because of the merging of the two - but this time an older (early 60s?) bicyclist was crossing Brookline Ave with a confused look on her face just as the Brookline Ave light turned green, thereby setting a block for me to breeze right into Kenmore.

Tech Issues: None

Incidents: None

Comments: Photo is of Kenmore at the confluence of Commonwealth Ave, Beacon Street, and Brookline Avenue. It's far easier to navigate Kenmore inbound than it is to navigate outbound.

Evening:

Weather: Cold, clear

Quality of Ride: Good. From end of First St in Cambridge to Mass Ave bridge was riding with two other cyclist. Always good to have company. Mass Ave bridge was windy.

Tech Issues: None

Incidents: Beacon right before Kenmore silver Honda pulling out of parking spot nearly clipped me. He only saw me at the last minute as I swerved around him.

Comments: Intersection of Beacon and Park Drive.
