Chestnut Hill sucks!  Rob Steuer | 6/12/2011

Chestnut Hill is in terrible shape, no matter which side you ride.  Full of pot holes and loose gravel.  Maybe someday they'll actually repave it and cover the million patches - but I'm not holding my breath.

Rte 59 from Cambridge back to Buskirk is in great shape...
313 is repaved  Rob Steuer | 6/12/2011

Biting dog  Rob Steuer | 4/6/2011

On my way back from HF, travelling on the dirt back road from Stewart's toward No Bennington, I was bitten by a small hound with large teeth - came out of nowhere and was on me in an instant.  Let the owners know that if he comes after anyone again, he'll be reported to Animal Control.

What a pain!

Airport TT #2 - Done  Tim Payne | 8/3/2010

Once again, I want to give a shout out to Laura for outstanding race support.  We finished up 30 minutes ago and the results are posted under news.  Thanks to Tim S. for serving as the rabbit, Marie rocking as the rookie, Julie continuing to smash PRs, young Colin and Miles going hard, Bob reminding us to just ride and Mike for laying down the fastest time. 

I think that is everyone.  Thanks again to Laura and the Banner for coming out in the drizzle to show their support.  Be sure to buy a paper and check out the club website.  See you in two weeks on Woodford - Tim
