Well I have no pics to show of yesterday morning's ride with forum member JPTwins, but we did take a nice 36 mile ride. I was on my Trek 560, JPTwins was on his Fuji S-12-S. We met in Brookline, MA, and headed out Comm ave past Boston College and made our way out to Weston. Came back through the lovely Lincoln countryside, getting to ride past the amazing Walter Gropius home. For the last leg we took Trapelo Rd through Waltham and Belmont, back to Somerville.

Then for a biking encore, his family met up with mine, and we rode all the kids on a motley combination of tandems, trailercycles, and even a tandem trailercycle! We rode a whopping 1.5 miles to Cambridge Commons, let the kids play on the playground while we enjoyed a picnic lunch. JPTwins and I stopped for a beer while our wives took the kids for ice cream. Then we all met up, finished off our beers, and rode home.

Here is a photo of our tangle of steel:
