thursday night ride tomorrow night; who's going?
i'll be there; it's supposed to be rainy but not that cold out.
also, since it seems like long rides happen when there are destinations, i propose a trip to/around/in charlestown, since i don't think i've ever been and i'd like to get a feel for the area.

yes. the time HAS changed.
8PM at the christian science center fountain/reflecting pool, though we usually don't leave until 8:30. if you think you might be late, call someone who will be there; we have no problem waiting around a few more minutes for more people to show (unless its f*cking freezing out)

I can get that back to you any time. Sorry, I've been busy with work and my EMT class lately.
Also, I owe you some bar tape on those bars, and I'll wrap it nicely without the need for whatever glue you used.

i posted this in the bostonfixed board.
"We should all ride to deer island this saturday morning/afternoon, we can meet up early in the day and take a trip out there and we can all bring a lunch, it will be cute!
it's a long ass ride, about 30 miles round trip. here is the pedometer: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=813993
Deer Island is open to the public: http://www.bostonislands.org/isle_deer.html
let's get a large group to go.
say 10-11? we'll meet up?"
it will be a nice day, in the 50's, bearly any wind.

Man, I've been wanting to ride to Deer Island for a while now.
it's the one saturday this season that i actually have an opportunity to make some dough. after the holidays people are staring to book caterers for parties again, finally. if something happens and it gets moved to sunday, i'm game.
