The crazy weekend was approaching! Soon, the valley would be swamped with out-of-towners looking for fall colors and a weekend away. We had to get a ride in Friday before they arrived or be caught in their foliage flurry and traffic jams. Peter (Minnich, my husband) and I started planning an ambitious exploratory ride in Eaton. Topo maps were consulted, logistics figured out and the route outlined.
That ride didn’t happen. Plans were altered by other circumstances. Since COVID-19 started, we’ve adopted a regular weekly routine. Friday is our “dump” day. That chore had to be taken care of first before we could ride. An early morning call from our son Joe about a bike problem added another leg to that trip — a stopover in Fryeburg to check and fix his bike.
