i leave Thursday the 30th for my 2 1/2 week trip back to the US (again since i was there 2 weeks in December too)

i'll be in Montreal
then Massachusetts (Worcester, Boston a little)
NYC
Philadelphia
Dallas (friend's wedding)

after thinking and thinking i am NOT bringing my bike :-( b/c it's not a bike tour and i would get charged by the airline... but i am bringing my inline skates for getting around and my bike clothes in the hopes that i will get to ride... the idea of not riding for almost 3 weeks is depressing!

i'll probably rent a bike a few times and also hope to borrow a MTB from a friend for some trail riding in Mass...

i heard there's some bike festival in Montreal. Anyone know what that's about? i'll be there this weekend, June 1-3...

Nathan... we can meet up and maybe gather with some of the other BF folk here. What size bike do you ride? I might be able to scare something up.

You'll miss the Jazz festival by about a month, I'm afraid, but there's a big women's World Cup road race on Saturday.

E-mail me so we can set stuff up.

velocipedio,

you're in Montreal, right?

i ride a 58cm road and around 18"/large MTB... i'm 6'1" and 160lbs...

yeah, a BikeForum group meeting or a ride in Montreal would be great...

not definite, but i should be in Montreal from Saturday June 1 through the weekend - probably leaving Monday or Tuesday.

i'm still undecided, but i think i'll throw my pedals and shoes in my luggage too (i ride Speedplays)
