Saturday 6/20 rides!!

[Biciclista]

Gotta admit, the sight of RD (aka your DH) wearing a cap with the word Silence along the brim made me chuckle.

yes, me too. I have no idea where he got that hat.

Wow Mimi sounds like you had a great ride and the pics are fabulous.

Looks like a great ride, Mimi. But cold!
Slight hijack again.
Reesha, maybe we can ride when you come home in July? It might be a recovery ride for you! Where in Acton do your grandparents live? I lived in Boxborough before I moved to Concord... my kids went to AB.

Well, I'd have to scrounge up a bike. I think my aunt in maynard has the exact same bike as me (size too!) and she said I could borrow it. My grandparents now live at Audubon Hill but they used to live in a beautiful, formerly white farmhouse on main st. in Acton. You might be familiar with the Powers Gallery across from Trader Joe's in Acton. That's a family venture started by my grandpa but now my uncle owns/runs it.

I'd definitely be down for a ride though! The other thing I often do when I'm home is drive to cambridge to climb the Harvard bleachers. I usually do half the stadium on the little steps.

Reesha, your uncle is Larry Powers? I know him! I live about 3 miles from the new gallery.
I know exactly which house was your grandparents on Main St.

Tour de Blast was a fun ride. This was my 4th time riding it, and not the worst weather day. Was fun to meet Mimi & her DH. After they rode away from me, someone behind me commented that they bet no one has as much fun as that lady's husband. He was laughing and joking and commenting to everyone, and had everyone smiling. No wonder Mimi smiles in so many pictures!

We were still having the "June Gloom" yesterday morning


I finally decided to turn around and do the club ride when it go too thick:

We had a record turnout:

My Friends Fred and slyvia got a new Ruegamer Ying and Yang tandem:


Then I went out Van Nuys and got some work on Bent. Here's a lady test riding a trike inside the store:

Even bike shop owners can be daddies

Haha yeah... I suspected you might know him My dad is his brother! Larry's brother (my other uncle) Mike is a big cyclist and helped get me into biking my whole life providing me with various bikes as needed. Actually, Mike is the one who totally rehabbed the farmhouse that houses new gallery. He often races with my brother up at the velo'drome' (it's outside) in Manchester, NH. Do you know **** Ring? He's the old announcer for a lot of the famous races in New England and did Longsjo for a longtime. Whenever I come home I try to go for a ride with him because he's such a riot!!!

Mimi-way cool! Pls say hello to de Mr RD I'd never laughed so much in my life until I met RD at dinner last year. YOu're one lucky woman!

Evang-That's one interesting bike ye got!

Me, I just went to the goat farm (another dh/xc place situated..on a freakin big hill) and did some hillwork.
