i rode with john kerry. . .

bruno · Sep 25, 2007, 7:39 AM

this past sunday in the hub on wheels ride here in boston. i was right up front with him and menino and went out ahead of the pack and had storrow drive all to myself. kerry and the other faster riders caught up with me at park drive and i rode right with the senator into the arboretum where he dropped me. i was ridin' singlespeed but still. dude's like 60 years old and he has some skills for sure. he's fast and there were some tricky parts and he has bike handlin' skills as well. he finished the 45 mile ride and hung around for a few minutes at city hall plaza and then split.

he was ridin' a big ol' serotta. he's tall and the bike was huge.

btw--hub on wheels is a great great event!!

Don't take this the wrong way, Steeze......but you know, sometimes I think your IQ is inversely related to your growing post-count!
