    Ride today... Boston Area

    So I'm probably gonna go out for a ride if the weather holds up- and I don't feel like going to Milford or Lowell.
    I want to get some quality time with the R6- just taking it easy, and was thinking about going up through Medford/Fells area. Any suggestions? If anyone in the boston area is planning on riding tonight let me know.

    edit: going out today (Wednesday, 6/25) too...

    If the weather holds I was planning on heading out, leaving from Medford as well. Probably do a loop around the Fells/Winchester/Woburn.

    Not getting out of work until around 5:30, 6 though.

    update- i got home, ridiculous storm just passed by. but now I can see some sky not too far away.

    This radar is helpful:
    Boston Weather Radar, Boston, Massachusetts Interactive Weather Radar - WCVB

    seems like it's clearing up now.

    Re: Ride today... Boston Area

    yeah i'm definitely riding tomorrow too. Weather is looking great for tomorrow. I think I'm gonna head out today in like 15mins. to check it out, get some gas while I'm at it.

    I actually see blue sky towards the west and it's clearing out nicely now so I think tonight should be fine too.

    I was out on the north shore for a bit with ff37buell around 1-2pm then I rode into Boston for work... got a little wet, but it was only road spray... nothin from the sky. Skies definitely looked ominous the whole way in, though. I JUST snuck in between the rain clouds.

    Re: Ride today... Boston Area

    i was just out, nice weather to ride- just roads are a little wet. I'm gonna head over to Fells area, go up S. Border rd. and back probably. 1.5 hrs tops.

    404 909 9089 if you're around. Just as a reminder this is a ride for me to get used to the bike, nothing crazy.

    Re: Ride today... Boston Area

    just got back... decided to try and open it up for real in first gear, and front end came right up... didn't mean to but it was fun. Radar detector was put to excellent use, cops were out tonight...

    and for some entertainment I'll add some pics I took with the excellent lighting around 7:30-8pm.

    I drove through south boarder today, take it almost every day. Its a great road but it usually has waaaay too much traffic to open it up during the day.

    Re: Ride today... Boston Area

    I don't get off till later, so if you're (or anyone else) free and up for riding again around 6pm that's when I would be leaving my house. I'd take 93 down to blue hills.

    Re: Ride today... Boston Area

    i think im gonna go up on the hampton beach thing... 550 huntington ave, 02136 is where they're meeting. I think there are some nice roads up there that they know and then I'll probably head back around 10:30 or earlier, not too late since I have work tomorrow morning...
