Fix-e repaired and ready to roll, Lung and I set out on our first CM in several months, resplendent in our TL jerseys. It was a brisk night, but not intolerable, especially when you factor in riding heat and the insulation of hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands, of other riders.

It was a huge Mass this time, as the Summer ones tend to be, and the ride was almost entirely positive, diverse and entertaining. I could do without the flagburner guy hijacking Mass for his own agenda, but it was one of the rides where we didn’t see any car vs rider fracases or crazy exchanges. My bar booze bucket held on well, for the sause that added pep to the evening, and the new harder gearing on the bike meant for a slower, slightly more challenging maneuvering experience in the clogged parts of the Mass, but awesome all the same.
Plus, no deaths!

The police were very supportive this month, corking for us at many intersections, and later giving Team lope a special escort.

We ended up peeling off at 745pm to engage in other evening plans, and getting home while it’s still light and your wifebot(tm) is ina great mood only added to the experience. I had crackerjack chicken and orange sauce which I absolutely inhaled.
A great night all around…!
