Last Sunday I did my usual bike ride. My regular route is around Arlington Pond in North Salem NH. The temperature was expected to be in the high 90’s so the plan was to get out early. The benefit of that was catching the local balloonist (A&A Balloon rides) as they floated over the water. As I rounded the corner to my destination I heard the sound of the burners going off catching glimpses of the balloon as it rose and fell. I coasted to an opening a the local marina and found my viewing point for these views. A local ride would be fun and someday I would really like to attend the Albuquerque New Mexico festival.
