but not the critical kind. This is more of a hike report. Last week we were visiting my brother in Hopkinton, MA. I tried to find a rental for some rides back there, but no luck so I was left to hiking, which was pretty fun also.
Every year, the Major Taylor Association and the town of Worcester hosts the George Street Challenge ( http://www.majortaylorassociation.org/e ... et10.shtml ) and this year my sister in law decided she wanted to give it a shot so we went along to cheer her on. This is a 500 feet hill climb, but with an average grade of 18%. We watched from one of the steepest parts which turned out to be a great place to watch the riders really push themselves.
The beginning
My brother's neighbor. I think he did it around 31 seconds. Last year he broke the 30 second mark so he was pretty bummed. The winning time was 24 seconds
A fun way to take the whole family.

Then it was on to "Vietnam" in nearby Milford. This place was amazing. I would love to spend some time in here exploring. I think they said there's around 30 miles of trails in this area. We only covered about 3 on our hike.
Looks ready to ride to me
Find the trail
This one looked like it was going to roll down the hill any minute
