Wednesday Evening Ride

Since I have been able to work at home 2 days/week, I haven't been riding in the evenings as much. I usually go for rides during lunch on those days and ride on the weekends. Tonight, I got out  and did the Brentwood loop. I enjoy the evening rides. Don't have to worry about sunscreen and the roads seem to have a little less traffic. But, you do have to be careful not to ride into the setting sun on roads with no shoulders. Here are some pictures from the ride.

Route 111A

Over 2000 people met in Brentwood for a peace rally in protest of Jame Madison's war of 1812. They thought the war would effect the shipping industry, which it did.

Junction of Lake Road and South Road

Rockingham County Complex

Blue sky and cumulus clouds

I walked out my door, looked out towards Pawtuckaway Mountain and saw a blue sky with bright white cumulus clouds. Great day for a ride. I rode out Drinkwater road again from Exeter through Kensington and into Hampton Falls.

Then Crossed over to Brown Road.

Along the Bay

Sunday's ride was along Great Bay starting with New Road from Newfields to Newmarket, through downtown Newmarket and onto Bay Road. Sunday was especially warm for early April. Temps were in the upper 70's and very little traffic on the roads. Bay Road offers some enjoyable rollers with good runs down some hills that can carry you most of the way up the next hill. I ended up in Dover for the family's Easter gathering.

Great scenery along the way.
