Saturday was blustery, damp and chilly for the 10AM start to the Fairhaven Ma. Bike ride celebrating National Bike Month. I did a bit of tweaking to the route because of a late start and ended up doing 37 miles.
Sunday morning was a beautiful 70 degree, calm, sunny day for the Narragansett Bay Wheelmen ride in Westport, Ma. I chose the 25 mile option and started an hour before the official starting time in order to get home before noon.

I was able to get home in time to see City win the Premier League Title. I chose teams by their managers being on that side of the house for so many years. It was also a big football day locally with the Revolution thumping the league leaders Seattle Sounders, that featured the ex-Rev and Fulham FC star Clint Dempsey by a score of 5-0.
Training is going well for my six day mini tour next month riding in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland
