One of the things I miss the most about my former neighborhood, Davis Square, is the close proximity to the Minuteman Bikeway. I used to ride my single-speed urban assault vehicle up and back a few times a week when the weather was nice. Coincidentally, from the Somerville end all the way to Bedford and back is around 26 miles.
Flat, scenic, sparsely-populated on the weekdays - the perfect place to get a handle on what marathon distance looks like (if not what the hills feel like). And you can stop half-way at Lexington Common and grab an ice cream - something I'd like to incorporate into Marathon Monday if possible.
I've done the loop a hundred times on my bike - looking forward to seeing how long it takes me to WOG (Walk-jOG) it.
