Once thing about being retired (finally) is that on weekdays I can do whatever I want (unless Sharon wants me to do something else). The Waltham section of the Mass Central Rail Trail was opened recently, eventually to run the length of the state. The Waltham section runs within 50 yards of the residential neighborhood where we live. So today I rode it on a vintage bike, my first derailleur bike, a Peugeot UO8 from 1972. Across Waltham out to Weston and back.
Not great pics but they do show what the MCRT is like. Quiet, mostly wooded, mostly smooth and straight. PostN91

For the ride home I took a detour through the city to get some pics of the Watch Factory. It holds residential lofts and some offices now. WatchFactory1
