Could that be the name of your Bike? Are you one of those velosexuals ?

Miss K and her husband met us for a dinner back in 2015, when their son earned his Air Force Navigator's wings, here at NAS Pensacola, FL. Not sure if she is still active, no posts from her in a good while either.

We need to get up for a longer ride, I enjoyed our short but cold ride up in Boston's suburbs a few years ago, with the Jim Muller and all of the others in that area.

Next time we are up in New Hampshire to see our son and daughter-in-law I'll get in touch for some miles with y'all.

So, @Road Fan, I owe you an apology. The name velovixen sure sounds alluring, and I looked (her) up on the Members List…only one post in 2010!

Well, if that’s your type.

And @qcpmsame, like for @Rowan, your post was a pleasant surprise. I remember well that group ride, and it was duly noted on the Metro Boston Regional Discussion thread

As he said, qcpmsame, Ghazmh, Jim from Boston, and my sweetie/stoker and myself did a nice ride in misty and sometimes rainy weather.

JFB had to bail out a bit early and the rest of us rolled on for a nice 25 mile run through the northwestern suburbs.

L to R: JfB, q, my sweetie Sharon, me (staring at my smarf watch to trigger the camera), Ghaz.

A bit of C&V (q's gorgeous Medici and our tandem) and a bit of hypermodernism (G's Soma and JfB's something that I've forgotten - duh, must be the beer).

Yeah, we got a bit wet and the bikes got a bit dirty. But we had great ride and it was a real pleasure to meet everyone.


I have posted to all BF suscribers,and I repeat especially for you, Bill:
