No riding Here!

[Crankin]

I decided not to call the police, but I will be paying the mother a little visit tomorrow or Friday night. I have had very little issues with people saying stuff and nobody throwing things before this. There's always crazy drivers, but not so many around here, since I seem to live in the center of the area where all the Boston bike clubs come to ride. So, drivers are just used to seeing groups of cyclists.
My husband and I get to paint the arrows on the road for a 50 mile ride that's on June 4th. I think we may do it from the car. Doing it on the bike will take forever. Guess I'll have fun with the spray paint.

Hi all,
I'll try to make it on the 14th. I haven't riden with a group or in traffic for over 10 years, so it should be interesting.

Robyn, I have had stuff thrown at me while running. Once, I was hit in the chest with a 32oz coke from McDonalds. Another time, someone threw a beer bottle at me. But then again, I live in Lowell. Heheh. Hope the parents don't give you the "not my baby - that's impossible!" routine.

Hey Annaphase, we'd love to have you. Hope to see you on the 14th.

Well, I'm a middle school teacher, so there isn't anything a parent could say that I couldn't respond to.

Just came home from a 16 mile ride. It was nice out. Saturday looks awful. There goes my first co-leading experience.
Jody, can you give directions to the Hopkinton town green from 495? I have no idea where to go.

Thanks!!!

Its a piece of cake Robyn. Take the Hopkinton Exit off of 495. You then just stay straight on West Main St. Its maybe 2 miles if that. You'll go through 3 lights and after going through the third set of lights in the center of town the common is at the top of the hill on route 135.

OK... the supposedly sunny 70's weekend has suddenly become a 48-56 degree NorEaster. Wind gusts up to 50 mph and driving rain.

Have I mentioned how much I hate the weather in New England...

We're gonna need some intense sun dancing for next weekend. On the "just in case" side of things, anyone have any preferences for a rain date for our MA TE ride currently scheduled for May 14 @ Hopkinton?

I could do the 15th or the 21st as a rain date.

I just can't believe the switch in this weekend's forecast. I had planned 3 days of riding - I'm supposed to be taking Monday off to ride, but if I wake up and it's raining again I think I'll go to work and take a sunny day off... The weather wizards really don't seem to be paying much attention to us. I have to admit I'm really tired of this weather.

We are suppose to get hammered this weekend with rain. Bummer. I'm free on the 21st also to ride if it rains.
Hey I have a suggestion. How about we meet at the common but then drive to Woodville and park at the boat landing. There are usually parking spaces and its on the lake. This avoids busy Hop town on the weekend and riding route 135 up and back which can be really busy. Its only 3 miles to the landing. So lets meet at the Gazebo and talk about it. You guys wanted to do about 35 miles right????
