Thanks for the ride guys and gal. It was a little...ummm...faster paced than I expected, but it's all good. Shants, you would have loved it. Weaving through downtown and south Boston was indeed the jammy jam.
Highlight: on the street below us in that photo are a bunch of summer campers getting back from their Boston Harbor cruise. They weren't allowed to talk to us, because we're strangers.
s2sxiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii - I called Dave yesterday, and he said he would ship it this morning (Wednesday). No word from him yet. And come on, you know you're going to miss the special bond you two developed.

No hard feelings. I hung back because I thought (brian?) was behind me and I figured you were going to stop at Revolution and we could just catch up to you there. We got down to the shop and no one was there so we wound around a few times and then went up Summer street. Couldn't find you so we went down Beacon and back to Kenmore square. I split off and went to find some friends for a few drinks at Kilroy's. Good to meet you all. Perhaps I'll try again next week.

Hey, I'm not a red light runner!
Ok, sometimes, but never if the way isn't clear. Come on, I'm the old fart with the helmet, brakes, and LIGHTS.
We did end up down at Rev and hung out for a bit, but we took a little more "scenic" route and had to stop a couple of times to keep from completely scattering the remainder of the group so you were probably long gone by then.
Better next time, ok?
