It was suppose to happen a different way.

[splat]

Today I was suppose to be showing a couple of women arind the woods, one who are going to be leading a Skills clinic in a couple of weeks. we The meet ing time was 8:45 am a couple miles away, and I was brining my Son with me. we got over ther at 8:40 , and no on was there yet. so we started to get our bikes down off of the roof when we relized we forgot teh front wheels back at the house. so we get back in the car boogie home and pick up the wheels . Lucky I did not run them over. so we get bac k at 8:50 , still no one. odd. wait till about 9 and we figure some how our wires got crossed. Turns out only the first email in a long thread of emails said 8:45 all the rest said 8:30 , My Bad. So now Peter and I are looking for a Needle in a Haystack.

We go cruizing around looking for them

having some fun Too.

Well time to ride down the river ! this was really slippery all the alge was like Ice , I wished I had my Studded tires , any way about 50 miles to Boston on this route, of course that would mean having to go through cedar swap ( YUK!! )

Now we continued on Peter going over a old Railroad bridge.

We got back to the car and headed Home, about 1/2 mile from Home we hit a small pot hole and herd a clunck from the roof. I thought one of the bikes must not have been ral tight. any way got home and when I went to get the bikes off teh roof , I was horrified by what I saw. I'm glad it was almost home when that let loose. Could have been a disaster.

So you didn't find the women? Lucky break on the rack.

[Krosskountrykid]

Spend a few bucks on a new rack! That would beat buying a new rack and two bikes later.

[I Are Baboon]

Bummer that your ride didn't go according to plan. That's still some quality time with the boy, though!

Those Charles River pics are cool.

[Quo Fan]

Not lucky with the women? I'd say you got lucky just enough.

Great photos and story, as always.

[If_Rider]

Nice pics. Good thing that rack didn't come completely off!!!
