The Morning Crew

Let’s Pig-Out!!! The prices were beyond reasonable, like $5.34 for a sausage, egg and bacon on a bagel w/Gatorade! And so what if it was a 43,384,326 calorie breakfast!

The Great Get Together! We met somewhere along the trail about 3-miles or so from the Meet-Up Place without the use of our cell phones – Luck has its place!

Quite possibly the most ingenious headlamp for a bicycle EVER! A multi-LED cluster reversed and illuminating a copper reflector plate with all of the components exposed!

Just seeing that Mrs.Murphy's sign makes my mouth water!
Looked like a good time, wish I could have gone!
 
That was a really good ride. I think that is farthest I've ridden a vintage bike. I'm ready to double it.

A most excellent time and very nice to meet brother bikers and see some awesome rides .Hopefully we'll get the chance to all gang up for a run together.The Ache Bones ran up to and around Congamond lake hopeing for some beers n eats but sadly the kitchen for both Crabby Joe's and the Skybox are being remodeled so recommended to us was the Southwick Inn a few miles further north.Ran into a quick rain shower twice and hit some cover and then coffeed up at D&D.Good times rolled and to be remembered:thumbsup:More pics coming up!

Good time, good ride, good food, good friends!

Can't say anything more except NO MORE WIND PLEASE!!!!
 
Yeah, it was a great run today. After we left you guys we had lunch on the deck at Plan B under blue skies. The rain must have moved in later.
 
Yes that's me doing repairs on the FireArrow .but otherwise enjoying a good
ride as we do most weekends.(Danbury/Brewster next weekend? ) Thanks to the NERRBers who came out for a ride of real miles proving the bikes are not just for show.Thanks for the pics ,lets try for a group ride in 2/3 weeks?
Like Bruce sings"Summer's here and the time is right for riding on the trails "

What is especially cool about it is that we are riding 30+miles on bicycles designed originally for going around the block!
 
That's the farthest I've ridden a single speed bike without stopping!! Great to ride with you guys once again, we had a great time! When's the next one? :)

The next two upcoming rides will be the New Haven, CT Ride later this month or early next and the Northampton, MA Nightlife Ride on a Saturday night in July; other rides might take place before these two dates. We’re pretty laid-back in both our ride scheduling and on riding itself.
 
Well................................... I got my license and motorcycle permit today!!! :banana:

Who wants to ride at Simsbury again?? :crazy2:
