with the delay of opening day at the Fells
and the rain held off for a day, it was a chance for another urban ride through the streets of Boston town with the prophet. I jumped on this chance because the weather is supposed to be junk for the next week or so. It was the nicest day so far. Temps were in the lower 40s all week. So high 40s was very much welcomed. What ever happened to the days of April where temps were near 80 a couple years ago.
The marathon runners this year are in a world of hurt for sure with a forecast of temps in the 30s and rain, lots of rain. They will need a canoe to make to Boylston Street. 26.2 miles wasn't enough this year. mother nature throws a late spring Nor'easter at them too.
I'll be drinking and watching the Red Sox, if the game isn't cancelled and occasionally switching to channels to marathon coverage.
The fells and most areas around Boston are closed until April 28Th. originally the fells was supposed to be open by this weekend, but the weather had other plans. Oh well. maybe this delay will extend the riding season. wishful thinking. but is it really that far fetched? I could see 70 in November. We got near that in January this year.
As I made my way into Boston, I made my usual stop to play around in the Nashua Street Park. (google maps just gets cooler and cooler. not only this but traffic) I found some skaters and it brought me back 15 years. there was probably 15 of them. sounds right as when i was 15 years younger, we use to travel in packs too. it was a bit nostalgic and at times, wished for a board myself. Though there is one in my basement, but my bones break much easier now. I have retired the skateboard and taken up mt biking instead. not that by biking, my bones break any less.
I did stop and take some pics of the only person on a bike playing around on this urban playground. i took my turn but no where near to the extent of what he was doing. It was a cool sight.

I made my way past Spalding rehab center and outside the TD Bank Norh Center when I came across this:
I thought it was interesting, though I was a bit perplexed by what neighborhood they were referring to. What ever happened to the separation of church and state? Wait. I live among pilgrims.
