Monday morning was time to find the trail again. I'm not quite sure if it was an extension of the Air Line trail or not, but several roads passed over it without any designed means to get on, so we bushwacked our way down.
In some places the trail got a bit rough, but most of it was quite rideable - you just had to watch out for large rocks. We avoided them like a Wookie coming out of light speed and dodging asteroids.
Into Massachussets we rode, eventually the trail petered out, surface streets were ridden until we got hungry and stopped at a Subway for a sandwich. I noticed the bikes were getting a bit dirty from the wet trail riding we had done.
Somewhere along the way a misting rain started, not enough to soak us, but enough to keep us moist. Soon we were within a day's riding distance of Neal and Bob's neighborhood so GPS and maps were put away. The rest of the ride would be by memory. Boston and it's suburbs are one complicated map of roads, we turned often, and I was glad these guys knew the area. About 15 miles from the end of the ride we stopped for a coffee and muffin. I could tell that there was significant wealth along our ride from the large houses and well kept yards we passed.

About 257 turns later we arrived at Casa Neal's. Our rides went down to the Bike Cave.
Not shown is the Wheel Grotto, the Stalactite ceiling of odds and ends, and other bicycling wonders.
Neal's two dogs were excited to see us.

Tuesday was a (thankful) off day for me. I was staying with Neal in his palacial "carriage" house in the back yard. We got up relatively late and walked down his "Sesame Street" neighborhood for breakfast. After that I met up with Bob to check out his bike cave.
Flying Scott
a few spares
We had lunch, then back to Neal's, which was a short walk away. Neal was working that day, Bob's retired, so we climbed back down into Neal's bike cave to pack my bike for shipment. More pictures of the "Rinko" treatment and packing case here.
Neal and I walked down to the local FedEx location with the box (it has wheels) and dropped it off for shipment back to The Atelier in Portland. Indian take-out dinner, then stayed up late to listen to the Red Sox-Yankee game, which had Neal and his wife Tania in fits as the Red Sox relievers barfed up a few runs, but finally won 4-3.

Planes, trains, automobiles and bikes, all in one day
Woke up early and took a Lyft to Alewife station in Cambridge, where I boarded a bus to NY. 4 hours later it pulled into Manhattan. I was texting Rudi, who put together a lunch with a couple other riding buddies, Brian and David. I'd emailed back and forth with these guys for awhile, but never met them in person. I was tasked with figuring out how to take a Citibike and ride from mid-town to downtown. They all had the app, and located a few bikes ready to go two blocks from my bus stop. I hustled down and found them, went through the step-by-step directions to unlock one, clamped my saddle bag to the front rack, threw my handlebar bag strap over my shoulder and I was off. I highly recommend using this service in a city, especially NY. It's just easier to get around than any alternative. It's pretty exciting playing Frogger riding down 9th Avenue for 25 blocks dodging pedestrians, taxi's, trucks, construction on some blocks that temporarily wiped out the bike lane, and other crazy stuff that I can't describe in a family oriented forum.
I arrived at John's on Bleeker Street where my 3 companions were waiting, 2 pies already ordered up. Introductions, discussion, some possible plans for a bike tour in the PNW next year were mentioned. Brian and David had to get back to work, so Rudi and I walked back up to his office about 25 blocks away near the Empire State Bldg. It was a warm, muggy day, so I sat in the air conditioning to dry off, then we walked over to Penn Station, Rudi headed home, me to JFK. By the time I got there I was hungry again, so an expensive, but tasty beer and burger went down my pie hole:
I got home around 10:30 after a full day of travel. Wife, kids, and dog were happy to see me.
I stuffed a lot into this trip. The weather held out, the rides were a bit challenging for me, but doable, and some beautiful new roads and trails were ridden. I saw old friends and met new ones. Oddly enough, the bike porn at FFD, although quite enjoyable, was maybe third on the highlight list.
You come for the bikes, but stay for the people.

Well done, you one lucky lad, Tx for the excellent rundown.
And back just in time for some of the best weather we are likely to have for a while.
You going to Chris King tomorrow?

Very nice! I'm curious about your Rinko setup...anything special for the headset? I've found that to be the biggest PITA when trying to break down/reassemble the bike for travelling, especially having to carry a big heavy crescent wrench and then fiddling with bearings and grease.

Sorry I didn't know you were in Manhattan. Seems Rudi and I work in the same midtown neighborhood.

Quite the adventure, nice work guys! Maybe next year @greg3rd48 and I can find a way to overlap for a bit if we plan further ahead. Assuming the yearly pilgrimage is on, of course.

John's Pizza has been an institutional dive for about 60 years. It's only a few blocks from my home. I didn't know you were coming so close. Next year, for sure. And yes, Ninth Ave on a Citi Bike is adventure. I do it fairly often. All I can say is oy gevalt. But we survive, right?

Now don't tell me that you're going after missing out on the last few...and this year I'm not. I've burned up all of my vacation time and wifely chits for the year.
FFD 2020 or bust...and I plan on dragging some of my PNW buddies with me.

I’m on the fence with a big itch to make it this year. It’s only a 3 hour car ride, I’m thinking of getting up real early with 3 bikes in tow.
