Princeton, MA sub-Wachusett Mtn ramble

Wachusett Mtn Summit Rd still closed for construction / improvement project (expected re-opening was Labor Day w/e, now is Columbus Day?), so exited stage right off of the usual Rt 140 / Rt 31 loop to explore roads never travelled before, below and eastward of the mountain (excellent alternate routes; got the idea to try these from other Strava ride-loggers). Max speed coming down Mountain Rd from the visitor center reached 47 mph, riding solo. Weather: Partly sunny w/ threatening looking (but harmless today where I was w/ only a few sprinkles felt) towering Cumulus narrow cloud bands passing overhead and to the side from time to time, muggy, air temp 80 F , dew pt 66 F , winds SW 15 mph gusting to 25 . Ride route trace looks like a gopher standing on hind legs surveying the area wearing a Pillsbury dough boy (baker's) hat?
