A baker’s half dozen plus or minus headed west to enjoy the gentle breezes as we wound a bit to the west and then south.  Here are a few observations: (1) watch out for the turtle in the road at the bottom of the loop through Sugar River Forest Preserve as he/she may still be there (2) always check the outside of the tire for sharps when/if you get a flat (unless you have multiple inner tubes/cartridges); (3) claiming that an intersection is “clear” should only be done by an individual who has seen an eye doctor recently and who recognizes that he/she may be at the head of a train of riders longer than, well, just one bike…; (mea culpa on both); and (4) a sign indicating “road closed” may mean that (assuming no alcohol is involved) one has to (a) dismount, and (b) briefly exercise one’s upper body. It was a beautiful evening for a “crank it” ride.
