Patriot Place

  

  
We stayed at the Renaissance Boston Patriot Place Hotel. The staff are the friendless I’ve ever experienced in any hotel in Massachusetts. Highly recommend staying here if you are in the area.

  
This is as close to a pro football game as I’ll ever get!

I’ll have another!

This is an interesting concept. Bowling and dining. However it’s about as relaxing as dining in a war zone thanks to amateur bowlers! It sound and feels like a bombing raid.

   

 

Vanity Plate

Spotted this one on route 3 heading back to free state of New Hamshire. Not exactly a Martha approved plate, but I like it…..a lot!

   
 

This one is care of Mr.B

Found this beauty in Wallingford CT. Accident on 15 so we crossed 150 to 91.

The after effects!

What am I

It’s a while since we played what am I! I’ll buy lunch for the person who guesses this one.

Hint, I’m not naturally occurring, I’m man made. I go round and round in the dark and eventually I need to be replaced.

The paper clip in the photos is 1.75″ long. 

Okay….after a few guesses one was close enough. It’s the remainder of Stan’s NOTUBE Sealant after a year or so in the back tyre of my mountain bike. I had a slow leak and decided to pop off the wheel to clean it prior to resealing, out came the below sea amoeba! Go here for more info.

   
 

Minuteman Bikeway

Its many years since I rode on the Minuteman Bikeway. We (JMan & GMan) got on in Bedford and rode east. All totals we did a little over five mile. Which for JMan on 16″ wheels and 1 speed that was a haul.

Overkill on the Garmin, but I wanted to track JMans distance.

On the way back we went to CycleLoft in Burlington, my kind of candy store! The only issue with visiting this store on the weekend is the lack of parking. For old time sake I used the Escadrille lot until one freed up. Given all the money I spent in the Escadrille years ago I reckon they own me!

Could not resist this photo.
