An hour flat up Rt.38 from Lowell HS on a 10 Speed. Nice black Fuji. Cut after lunch...there by post. Had my own special parking spot in bottom lot near kitchen entrance. Sneak right in. Got "friendly" with girl working the bar who would drive Fuji and I back to the city at 6:00. Nice girl....good times.

Took her to Saratoga with me a few years later (The girl, not the faithful bike) to watch Shugs' Heavenly Prize devour Lakeway on the turn in the Alabama. You always remember your first (Saratoga visit, not the girl).
