Last night was another quick ride on the Minutemand Bikepath. There’s a Wort homebrew club meeting this Sunday and I wanted to make sure I knew how to get there and back using the path. Even though if you’re going to get lost, having two panniers full of beer is a heck of a time to do it, the plan was to preride the trip to know where I was going. It was another beautiful evening, warm temperatures with a nice cool breeze and no bugs. Took me a little under 40 minutes to reach my destination and felt good to stretch the legs.

On the way back I took it easy and added in some bonus singletrack that eventually brings you back to the path. This is one of the reasons I mounted the fat tires on Aretha. On the path, it’s definitely more work pedaling a 1.85 tire instead of some tiny 23c, but it’s all worth it when you find that sweet hidden gem.
Side note - also learned that Paul Revere evidently road a bicycle and not a horse…
Paul Revere?
Naw, man, that’s Ichabod Crane what rode a bike.
Looks like a nice little trail; empty, too!
Welcome back. Whatcha brewing next?
Thanks Steve, good to be back!
Ichabod Crane huh? Guess I should watch out for flying pumpkins!
The trail only looks empty, because I waited until a clear spot opened up. Most of the other pictures I took ended up having several trail users in the shot. Just like the W&OD, only shorter…meaning bikers, dog walkers, joggers, roller bladers, and baby’s mommas everywhere.
I’ll be sure to give an updated brewing post sometime today, just for you man.
