7.15 miles; Ashland and Sherborn, MA Nothing much to recommend this section, either. Mostly road. Decidedly urban hiking with little woods sections between cul-de-sacs. Then a long walk on a busy road. Only redeeming feature? A Dunkin’ Donuts along the route. Hope this trail gets better soon… The first part of this hike was actually […]

4.2 miles; Exeter and Richmond, RI I had trouble sleeping, so when I was already awake at 4:30, I decided I may as well go hiking in the coolth of the morning. Turns out, not so much coolth, and it was so humid it was like walking underwater. I cut the hike short. Also, no […]

7.92 miles; Sudbury, Southborough, and Ashland, MA The less said about this section the better. Firstly, it was beastly hot and humid. Secondly, it was partly through an Industrial park.

8.7 miles; Marlborough, Framingham, and Sudbury, MA Well this section couldn’t have been more different from the last one. First, there was hardly any road-walking at all… maybe 1/4 mile. I didn’t even cross a paved road till well past halfway. Also, I managed to neither over- or under-estimate the mileage. It came in at […]

10.53 miles; Sudbury and Wayland, MA Just once, ONCE, I’d like to OVERestimate the mileage on one of these sections. Although the difference between 9.8 miles and 10.53 miles isn’t as drastic as last week, it was still an underestimation. And ugh. Out of a 10.53 mile hike, 8.5 miles of this was on roads, […]
