Boston

[Rontele]

Who here still lives in Boston? Been and will be spending a good deal of time there in the coming months. Need a good handle on the mountain biking nearby. How's Cape Cod?

Lynn Woods is a lot like 'Nam in that there are rocks like you wouldn't believe and very little flow. I broke so many bike parts at those places in the '90s. They're great! If you ride those without hike-a-bike, please post the TR. I also rode Stow Woods, Callahan State Park, Nashoba Valley, and Upton Woods when I was growing up. I hear there's good riding around Needham now and some stuff on the south shore that I never bothered with when I was young.

Try Willowdale and Bradley-Palmer, on the border of Topsfield and Ipswich for xc with some flow. Bradley-Palmer is a bit too mellow to be exciting, but Willowdale hits the sweet spot between techiness and flow for me. The riding up around Gloucester is supposed to be nice, too, but I don't know it.

There are some things about rocky New England trail riding that I miss while I'm in the rocky mountains. Enjoy.

Also is everyone in that town work for a hedge fund and went to Harvard? Why is everyone white? Why when I drive by Fresh Pond and Soldier Field, I always get lost?

That would be a great idea but I doubt he's checked them in like 5 years. But what do I know?

Brookline? Yeah pretty much.

Why is everyone white?

Well it's cold, damp and windy. Unfavorable climate for the highly pigmented crowd. Not all that great for white people either, really.

Why when I drive by Fresh Pond and Soldier Field, I always get lost?

It works!!

[buttahflake]

iceman lies in jeans.
he knows just like everyone else knows, Boston is into segregation.
it's old school racist.
drive through Mattapan, Roxbury parts of Dorchester, no white guys.
it's always been like that.

[iceman]

Wait, there's ghettoes??!!??

Not in Cow Hampie though, right?

[iceman]

buttahflake is annoying lately, anybody else feeling that?

[buttahflake]

[iceman]

No thanks.

[iceman]

Here's the thing, slick. Some of those posts have been funny, some have been smart, a few have even been insightful, maybe.

You are 0-fer.

[buttahflake]

you've been drinking, it's obvious.
what are you having?

[iceman]

But I'm sure that won't stop you from trying.

Knock it out of the park little buddy.

[iceman]

Geez it's that obvious. Fuck.

I'm out of practice, cut me some slack.

[irul&ublo]

He's from Boston....what do you expect?

[buttahflake]

it's the double post's, yer cocked.
think stuff through, big girl.
pretty combative also.
what are you having, brown or clear?

[iceman]

Oh shots of vodka like usual in these situations. Still gotta handle the phone call from wifey on her road trip. Pray for me.

[iceman]

You are terrible at apostrophes, by the way.

[buttahflake]

atta' boy.
you got this. when the noise on the other end stops, say 'yep'.

[From_the_NEK]

For answers to your question, PM Rontele. Oh wait...


The Dog Town area near Gloucester is pretty cool. I haven't riden there in years but I've heard it has been getting better. Nice area out there where you can take a dip in the ocean during/after riding.
