  1. Made the ride from Boston to Plum Island and then Newburyport. Took MBTA commuter rail back to North Station.

    72 miles very flat!

    Tomorrow we have the first Nor'easter!

    Plum Island is pretty cool, strong headwind heading south but that meant easy cruising on the way back. The several miles gravel added some excitement and fun to the ride. There was a section with pretty loose gravel but my 30mm road tires handled it just fine. Just need a bit bike handling skills!

    But I didn't see any plum on Plum Island???

  7. Cessna 210B Centurion, built in 1962 . Shown not just for the #aircraft, but for the location. Heading north out of Boston, in the direction of the Maine border, you come across a sign for Plum Island Airport. This field only has a few resident GA aircraft, but it is of vast importance to US aviation history. First opened in 1933, it is noted as being the oldest airfield in active use in the continental United States. I am glad I made the detour! #generalaviation #aviation #history #USA #UnitedStates #airport #PlumIsland #Massachusetts #Maine #Boston #NewEngland #Cessna210 #grassairfield #PlumIslandAirport #Cessna #flying

  8. This is why #Newburyport #Massachusetts should NOT invest any more money into saving #PlumIsland. With sea levels predicted to be at 10 feet or more by 2050 (if not sooner), it needs to be abandoned!

    NOAA, February 2022: U.S. Will See Century's Worth of Sea Level Rise Within 30 Years, NOAA Report Says
    "Between 10 and 12 inches of sea level rise is expected on U.S. coastlines, the report said."
