BB and I try her new mountain bike out

BB and I went for a bike ride to test out her Specialized mountain bike. It took a bit of seat adjustment but it seems to work well for her. At $45 ($25 for bike and $20 for pedals) it's a great deal. We rode on the trails in the Sudbury Vally trustee land. Some of them were very good. Others not so much. Riding on dirt is a bit of a chore so we only did about 5 miles.

The path in from on Old Pine Trail and the parking area on Dutton road is nice and an easy ride generally. We cut S to go past the pond (Hopbrook pond?). It was especially lovely with some ducks feeding. From there we followed the RR track W. The track bridge is fine for bikes but we did have to carry. Riding along the RR track is generally good. When we got over by the sand pits we turned back S on Sudbury Valley Trustee land and the Desert Loop trail. These trails were only just rideable for us. In just a bit we got to Plympton trail and followed it E to the Woman's club and Dutton Rd S parking. From there it was a quick trip N on Dutton and cut over to Amanda then home. All in all a pleasant ride with very little busy road.

As usual here are the photos. Click through to see the videos.
