Helmet Heads

The Sunday of Labor Day weekend gave Boston a perfect weather - sunny, temperate and breezy...okay more like seriously windy and gusty....I guess that's not quite perfect but it was certainly nice enough to get out and enjoy the summer!

Mike and I packed up a picnic and set out on a long bike ride. We meandered though our neighborhood, up to Jamaica Pond where we followed the Emerald Necklace for a way and then skipped through the Boston University campus over to the Charles River Esplanade. On the esplanade, we biked along the river, to end of the Boston side at the Museum of Science then circled back along the river on the Cambridge side. Memorial Drive in Cambridge closes a section of the road every Sunday between Memorial Day and Labor Day for cyclists, inline skaters and pedestrians to enjoy. Somehow, I've never taken advantage of that during all my years in Boston so it was cool to finally get to do that. We decided to stop near Harvard for our lunch.

Hot Helmet Heads!

After our picnic, we circled back around to the BU campus and home. It was leisurely 25 mile ride for us. Even though it felt like we were heading into the wind the whole trip, we had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed it.
