Hi Stevil, according to NECN it’ll be in the mid-50’s with no rain on Sunday!

The BFK is ready, only needed some air in the tires; the back-up will be the LongBike.

Looking forward!

Sorry guys, but I will be a no show. Hurt my hand pretty bad yesterday and my fingers are swollen. I'm not up for riding, Have fun.
Hopefully we can get together in the summer. Don't forget to take pics.

 

[ZygoteLittle]

I’ll post pics soon.

We had a good turn-out; there were seven of us in total. We rode just under 28-miles from the Plan B to the Skybox were we pigged-out on burgers, fries, onion rings, wraps, beer, tonic water and some other liquid concoction!

There were some nice rides on this ride. 2 three-speed Schwinn OCC Stingrays, a classic cruiser that was nicely customized/resurrected by idiotboy, Stevil on his (?) (What are those things called again, Steve?), a recumbent, an original Manta Ray and my 7-speed BFK. Two were not able to complete the ride due to medical reasons, nothing serious.

We fought stiff headwinds and a slight uphill ride going to the Skybox, but it was all downhill w/mild tailwinds on the return ride back to the Plan B. Cool responses and comments from fellow cyclists’ and one good-natured but slightly inebriated dude commenting favorably about one of the OCC Stingrays!

The scenery was beautiful; the air at ride start was cold, but warmed-up perfectly at rides end.


Good times everybody, peace.

looking forward to meeting the "new guy".

Do we have a date yet for NoHo-EaHo-NoHo? That's a short-ish ride, approx. 13 miles round trip, but with more bar hopping after around NoHo. Needs to be on a hot summer night.
