Epic trail ride

   
   
  
Great ride on the Cheshire Rail Trail yesterday. Nine of us set out, and everybody made it back. The trail started out serene and flat, but soon turned to a muddy mess. At one point we were threading our way between giant chunks of ice that had fallen off the rock walls cut for the railway. My new bike, bought specifically for days like this, rode like a champ. And, when one of the other guys broke a chain, I was so proud that the chain tool I’ve carried for 20 years finally got some use.
