Martha's Vineyard - Road or Mountain bike?

[Crankin]

No, I did not mean RI. You know where I am talking about.
But, I don't want to offend anyone. I guess I've spent too many summers on the Cape!
Have fun. The Jamis will be perfect. If I had had my Jamis then, I would have taken it.

Oh, we got em in Newport, too, growing up.

If it's tourist season, does that mean we can hunt them?

[Crankin]

Yea, it seems we have tourists in Concord all year long! Not as many in the winter, but they are here. I know it helps the economy, but...
I love the tourists who are riding a bike diagonally across an intersection or the wrong way down a street. Sometimes they stop in the middle of the road and wonder why people get mad.

Once, in the span of five minutes, I watched a tourist woman finish a very oversized marguerita, stumble off a barstool, hobble in heels over to a rento-moped, hop on, start the thing, and then fall over at a high take-off within seconds.

Not pretty.

I rode on MV in 2007. Did the MS metric ride on my road bike, and it was perfect. Of course, it was an organized ride, and it was early May, but we spent a long weekend there riding every day on the road, not the paths, and we were fine. No traffic issues, no dirty looks from motorists, and the road bike came in handy on the hills out toward Gay Head. Watch out for the wild turkeys! You'll see them crossing the road and stuff.
