Skids, yes more skids.

Yes, more skids. I would like some credit for skidding and then wrecking a non-toe-clipped, non-clipless mountain bike down Boylston Street.

Ah.... Really, a chance like today to be stupid doesn't come often. It makes a guy yearn for summertime when you can substitute really late for bad weather.

although I'm glad I was not there, kinda wish I coulda been, looks like you all had a blast. On a side note, I've yet to take a flask on a ride with me. A new mission is born...

Looks like you guys had a wicked good time - sorry I couldn't muster the oomph to get out by 1:00. Around 1:45, I felt wistful at the missed opportunity so I went out on a little excursion of my own - mad fun. Here are some pictures. Keep me in the mix for the next time.

damnit, apparently the power went out last night at wentworth, so my alarm never went off. i awoke in a post-drunken hung-over stupor around 2-2:30, and after checking the time was pissed that i missed the group ride. i can only make myself feel somewhat adequate by being 8 beers in the hole now, and significantly drunk... yay pats for winning!!! hopefully next sunday someone will have a group ride so that i can too accompany the fun, sorry for missing out today... im off to finish my mini'keg of beck's, later

YTS, love the panoramic and the shot of the Public Garden. If I got anything going next Sunday I'll be sure to let folks know. Maybe it'll become a regular thing. It wasn't my intention, really, but it would be kinda cool. We still need to hit Red Bones sometime, so...

I passed out for a while and then woke up. I was a bit stiff and sore when I came to. Apparently my little slid and slide on Boylston left me with a big purple bruise on my left butt cheek.

Oh, and the best part of the ride had to be when Alexi had to cut his lock off with a saw from Foley's because he left the key at home.

Rock on, gents. It was good to ride with ya's.

So here are a few of the shots I got yesterday. Fun times were had.

One of the youth I work with posted this message to our online Internet community:

Did anyone see Trevor on Chan. 7 News?

Did anyone see Trevor on Chan. 7 News? (Driving a bike in the snow @ Haymarket) .. ! I don't think I'm crazy because I KNOW Trevor has a bike! (I seen a picture).. And I know Trevor would do something like that hahah.

Your famous Trevor!

And one of our kids from Southie also saw us. Famous indeed.

one of the girls I work with saw me on the news also. alas the pictures were not in the globe today. oh yeah you guys should see how nice my chris king gold head set and phil wood hubs look

That is someone just asking for missing bike parts.

The panoramic shot looks like something out of a movie... like in The Day After Tomorrow

The funny thing is, I neglected to mention the part of my ride where I got snowed in at the Boston Public Library, had a weird, soul-searching conversation with my scientist dad, then teamed up with him and an unlikely band of other people to save humanity.

(Isn't that what happens in that movie? )

Exactly!

It it snows tomorow I'm up for a roll around town with any of you folks.

Damn, I would love to but there's a MassBike metro-Boston organizing meeting tomorrow, so I'll be there until 8:30pm (unless it's called off, then I'm free around 5:30 or 6:00).

i f...ed-up my rear drop out today, if i can score some thing to get my soma up and running i'll be down...
