rhuTried a different route home tonight --- basically taking Washington St. instead of Comm Ave. It's about 0.4 miles longer, but essentially flat, which eliminates the three-block-long rise of Heartbreak Hill #1. A much less strenuous ride, and about the same amount of time. It could have been exceptionally pleasant.
Except that there was not the sidewalk I was expecting between Wash. St. and the Mass Pike. So unlike Comm. Ave, where I get to ride in a nice quiet carriage lane with other bicyclists and joggers, I was in traffic. Real traffic. Aggressive, scary traffic.
So, um, no. Tomorrow it's back to the hill.
