It's the day after Thanksgiving, so what are you going to do? Veg out on the sofa? Hit the malls bright and early? Naaah! You're going to ride your tandem and work off some of that banquet from the night before, of course.
Two intrepid DOGS teams braved temperatures in the 30s and sometimes gusty winds to cruise the wonderfully smooth, slightly rolling, sparsely trafficked roads of Middlesex County. Afterward we settled in at Cafe Napoli for belly-warming soup and garlic bread.
