Perfect Autumn Bike Ride

Yesterday was the epitome of a pleasant New England fall day, sunny, slightly breezy, ~68 degrees. The leaves have finally started to turn and are beginning to splash the sidewalks with their bright colors. I knew I had to be outdoors, and decided to go on a little bike ride along the Charles River, something I had been putting off waaaay too long.  Including a couple of missed turns, the ride was a leisurely 7 mi and an wonderful way to relax on a beautiful Saturday.

The view was so quaint (as many things are in Boston).  There were almost as many geese out as there were people!



There were a couple of kayak boathouses along the way which were popular as well.


The park near the shore even had a little inlet complete with ducks and lily pads.


And apparently plenty of food....
