Boston Hub Ride- Sunday 9/21

Anyone interested for an easy stroll through Boston? Looks like a neat way for a suburbanite like me (Acton) to see Boston up close.

FYI- The CRW Fall Century is the same day, leaving from Acton.......

I was thinking about this too although rough urban roads are better suited for hybrid type bikes. But if others are going, I'd be in. I've done the CRW Fall Century enough times. :)

Agreed- lets chat in mid week.... might be fun to tool around Boston's cow paths for three or four hours....especially if it is not raining.,

Mark: Just as well. One of my subordinates at work is pre-registered with his group. They are expecting something like 3,000. If you are not in the front, you can't move - like the 5 borough tour of NYC. If you work in Cambridge like me, this number is believable. Sounds like the CRW Fall Century again for me this year. They have good roast beef sandwiches at the end of the ride. One year they gave out hats!
