Watertown, Boston, Massuchussetts

On 10^th April I flew to Boston, to live with Julie and Eric Monagle.  My first training ride on 11^th was horrific.  There was heavy traffic, potholes, large cracks in the road, and the entire ride was through city traffic with stop signs and traffic lights.  We had two close calls with cars and I decided I need to find somewhere safer to ride.  I rang Bob depressed that my training area was so dangerous and unpleasant,  The following day I did as he suggested and rode the rollers determined not to get hit by cars so early in the season.

I raced the Eastford road race, breaking away and winning it.  I headed home with Petra, after the race as she had offered me a place to stay during April until I worked out a better place to live.
