I know Saturday is still ~30 hours away, but I am doubtful that enough ice will grow in Wethersfield Cove for my much ballyhooed ice race. I was down there today and there's ice and also many spot with exposed water. This is reminds me of the time Salem and I almost died at Kenney Cove. A story I might tell you some day.
Maybe by Sunday? Maybe a smaller body of water?
We shall wait. Sunday.
ReplyDeleteLike, duh?! I ride by the Cove just about everyday and although it seems frozen now, I still wouldn't trust the ice for riding.
ReplyDeleteHow about a ride around a frozen body of water and not on it, instead?
I say just go fer it. I mean, what's the worst that can happen?

I saw some geese walking on the Goodwin Park Pond a few minutes ago and I followed them.
ReplyDeleteI lived.
When I was a teenager, I'd get home from high school (South Catholic), grab a bite to eat, get my equipment (skates, stick, puck, usually shinguards at least) and head over to Goody. Besides many other skaters, there were kids playing pickup hockey games. I haven't seen anyone skating on the pond in decades.
ReplyDeleteMost towns around here have banned skating on ponds. However, across the street from that sweet skatepark in Middlefield was a skating pond.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to move to Middlefield. Skatepark, hiking, mountain biking, ice skating, etc. sounds like the place for me.
Banned skating on ponds? Would have to catch me first!
ReplyDeleteDid I ever tell you about the time I tried to take a short-cut across the Pomperaug River when it was iced over, only to find it wasn't as thick as I thought it was? Thankfully the Pomperaug ain't that deep. And home was two minutes away.
