Boston Midnight Marathon Bike Ride
340 of us put our bikes on Trucks at South Station in Boston that transferred them to Southboro, Ma. We filled five double deck commuter rail trains with riders for the one hour ride to meet up with our bikes. There was also an additional 2530 others who made their own way to the start of the ride. Once in Southboro, we located truck E and retrieved our bikes to begin the four mile ride to the official start of the Marathon in Hopkinton. It began with the steepest hill that saw many many get off their bikes to walk. This is one of my top rated rides and like runners do for the Marathon, this is definitely a bucket list event.

Newport Bike Full Moon Ride
It was a wonderful ride along the ocean and mansion row in Newport R.I. The overcast night hiding the full moon made video near impossible. I’ll try again next month.

Midnight Marathon Bike Ride
It’s time to get your tickets to have your bike shipped to the starting line in Hopkinton. It’s thirty bucks plus another six for the commuter rail. It’s very much worth the money. The trucks fill up quickly so time is of the essence.
CLICK HERE to get your ticket. Stop thinking about it. Just do it fercryinoutloud. It’s going to be one of the best rides you have ever done.
Rails To Trails Opening Day Ride
We will be riding the East Bay Bike Path at 9 AM. Meet at the Fort Hill parking lot for the start of the ride.
30 Days of Biking, Day 5
The weather has made the 30 days of biking challenge….well….a challenge. Three of the 5 days have been torrential rains. The good news is that all three have had evening windows allowing rides, albeit, short ones.
I did manage a dry, yet chilly ride to the gym this morning. Greg Loper mentioned the irony of a gym without a bike rack on 30 Days of Biking this morning. In Fairhaven, MA. the irony continues.
I am 5 for 5 so far and tomorrow’s forecast of heavy rains holding off till the afternoon is a good indication that the streak will continue.
It’s getting to be that time of year to begin doing some long rides. That may begin the weekend with one or two 30 milers. We’ll see.
