Quick wrap up of the week to date. It's been hot! Unusually warm for this time of year in New England. Cloud-free days, unadulterated sun that grows richer and more buttery as it sinks, temps in the 80s in the evenings, scratching 90 in the afternoon.
Three rides this week and one more today with The Virginian, we're meeting up in Leverett for some exploring, possibly heading north to Warwick and Northfield.
Following Monday night's spirited ride with the Barney Crew, I managed 21 miles Tuesday and 25 on Thursday. 39 or more today, and I'll be over 100 on the week.
Here are some photos from the last couple weeks.

The next four shots depict the gradually sloping incline on the run up to Holden Reservoir, then the view from the top as the road levels out and then runs alongside the body of water for a mile or so.

| The approach |
 |
| The reservoir is to the right and the grade increases |
 |
| It kicks upward into the curve |
 |
| You level off and this is what you see |
Way down at the far end, a mile or more along from the point above, the road is now blocked because the bridge is being worked on. Six weeks they say.
 |
| Improvements |
 |
| It's gonna' be a while |
