Early AM ride w/ Hayden - Rt 20 south over newly opened bridge over Salmon Brook at Granbrook Park, down around Imperial to the airport, then back and up past Copper Hill and back to Rt 20. Gorgeous day to be out - overcast, but nice riding. Noted a little repetitive noise on the rear wheel and while taking a break by the airport, I spotted two areas where the tire is wearing at the rim and heading toward a blowout - time to get a new tire I guess - this one is original so has a couple thousand miles on it plus whatever mileage the bike had prior to my buying it.

afternoon run - light showers but not enough to affect vision, wasn't pushing as hard as last week, but fewer water features on the trail to dodge - still very muddy in the usual locations though.

Event: People's Forest 7-Mile Trail Run
 

up to North Adams w/ family - bit of hiking around Natural Bridge and Greylock. Gorgeous day, wish I had time to get out for a run or a ride...

early evening - passing thunderstorm winding down - still raining, but sun coming in at low angle - some harsh contrast through wet glasses. Ran the loop CCW as hard as I could, trying to come in under 20 minutes. Just missed. Although legs felt stiff on roads, once I hit the trail it was like I had a new pair of legs - just felt really, really good to fly on the trail, even though there was a fair amount of dodging puddles and low-hanging branches wet with the rain.

road to and from trailhead - 4:15 down, 5:48 on cooldown
