Day 93 - Plymouth to Wellesley MA

Saturday May 25, Biked 48 miles. Total mileage by end of day: 4911. 

Warm & sunny.

Back on the road, I passed over a railroad bridge.

And down some peaceful country roads.

Past some pretty houses with flags and big lawns.

Alas, I found quite a bit of trash next to a pond. Disposable single use plastic is deadly to wildlife. I picked up this lid from Dart and put it in the trash.

At the pond, a kayaker had just finished his morning paddle.

This brood of ducklings was cute as it swam away from me first in a neat line than in a bunch.

I stopped for a second breakfast at the Olde Hitching Post in Hanson.

The North River Collaborative School had dozens and dozens of minivan school busses.

The Kelliher Bros Oil company building was a bit burned out but still seemed operational.

This newly paved road was so smooooth!

Passed the Holbrook library.

Now headed toward Stoughton.

When I bike, I love stopping at local ice cream shops. Daddy's Dairy did not disappoint. I had some Extreme Chocolate in a cone (so I eat my container rather than creating trash).

After this snack, I biked by a nursery selling many colorful flowering plants.

In the beautiful Blue Hills Reservation, I came across an ugly Poland Springs purse-sized disposable water bottle. We must stop using these! Such a waste of money and resources.

Let's all become Loraxes and speak for the trees. So many beautiful green trees at Blue Hills!

I could not resist watching a bit of soccer at a youth game along the way.

I biked through the town center in Needham MA.

Now in Wellesley, my route went down a peaceful biking and walking path in Fuller Brook Park.

At last I arrived at my classmate Tod's house for the evening. His house is at the top of a very steep but thankfully short hill.

Tod, Margaret, and Tod's dad John loved Oliva!

I stayed in a marvelous aquarium room -- very fitting for my cross country Save Our Seas ride :-)
