Case

I had a delivery out to Pawtucket RI yesterday, so since I'd be East of the river anyways, I figured it would be a perfect day for Case Mountain.

On the drive out to RI I made a few observations:

• Beautiful country out RT6 in Eastern CT; must be some fine ridin' in them thar hills
  


• All the closed /for-sale commercial property out there is depressing


• The engineer who designed the highway through Providence must have been drunk


• Finally, people heading West out of Providence must have been sharing with the engineer

After some Mapquest follies, I find my way down to the Spring Street parking area and the fun starts.

Case is a really great place to work on your technical skills. Twisty rocky fun with some natural and man made features to challenge you.

I don't know the area well enough to put together a good cardio loop, at least from that side. I have come home from the Birch Mt. side pretty spent though.

Fortunately this was sort of a last hurrah ride for me, as business is picking up enough that I'll be relying on the kindness of family for deliveries out that far.

Perfect day for a "hurrah".
