Long ride recap

Riding 60-miles in the city turned out to be quite a challenge. We started in Brookline, rode through the city into South Boston and then completed 7 laps around the Southie beaches/Castle Island. The day was absolutely gorgeous but there was an increasingly heavy headwind for most of the time. I lost some energy after 15 miles, but was able to push through and finish strong. I blame a lack of proper fuel. A rushed and (DELICIOUS) iced coffee from Joseph's Bakery don't exactly cut it when riding for 5 hours. Oops! I love biking in Boston -- it's always an adventure:

{Scary stairs down from the BU bridge that almost ended our bike ride 55 miles early}

{ZOMG it's the Zakim Bridge!!!}

{Skin cancer prevention}

{The Castle Island loop has a great view of the city}

{Exhausted and ready for a nap... or a cupcake}
