boston at monster track

i was debating about whether or not to post this in the rides&races section or not, but i figured more people would see it here.

so 2 weeks from today is monster track, and i'm wondering who from boston is planning on making the trip down? anyone want to meet up at south station friday afternoon and take the fungwah bus down as a group?

once you add in the fact that the 'hound charges you extra for the bike, and you have to go thru the hassle of boxing it, it's really not that much of a deal. at least the Chinabusses let you just roll yr ride into the cargo bay.
