Mass is getting NEAR!

We are seeing more sox signs and fans. It's nice to see them around. The liquor stores are also started to be called Package stores.

Today started out with a lovely breakfast and the temperature was cool. The 1st 10-15 miles were very hilly and I was not doing well mentally. Then Billy's the 3rd tire blew and it was not as easy to solve. We called out best bet for bike stores (20 miles away). Unfortunately they could not come to help up. They sent us to some "hardcore bikers" you worked 2 miles away from where we were. They were an amazing help with the tired and bent over backwards for us and told us the best news we'd heard since we started. He told us that we'd love the ride to Simsbury because it was all down hill. IT WAS FABU!

The ride ended on a high with a visit to the Benidorm Bike Shop who directed us to the "hardcore bikers." We Finally got to Timy's house in Simsbury greeted by his very accommodating mom. We showered, drank water and were served cheese and crackers.

Again my outlook is optimistic since I'm currently not biking.
