For Those in the Boston Area

Those who subscribe to Bicycle Magazine may have seen the story about the 2013 Boston ride.

I be in town from New Bedford, for the Midnight Marathon ride starting in Southboro on Sunday. Anyone else?

One crazy thing is that the authorities wanted us to cancel the ride this year. The route is open to all traffic till 7:15 AM, but for some reason people on bikes are a threat. We are staying clear of the start and finish line because of the security concerns. There is a pancake breakfast being offered from 1 till 4:30 AM. Advanced ticket is required. Temps will be in the mid 40's which is just about right for the Boston Strong on bikes.

The Boston Globe made a strong argument for continuing this event HERE
