i rode with john kerry. . .

[bruno]

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.:beer::flag::lol::smash:

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!

Yes, I just subscribed to Outside for the first time. I've read it occassionally before. But, its actually got some cool interesting stuff. And, you can actually read the articles, as opposed to some of the ski rags these days.

The point that I get from this is that Bruno didn't have to go to some big celebrity hang out (i.e. aspen or sun valley) and had the rather interesting encounter with J. Kerry.

I always had a good deal of admiration for Kerry but I wish that could use his power to make MA a bit more bike friedly. Boston is a pretty tough place to be a bike commuter.

Just a tangent, Bush is an avid mountain biker - it would be kind of fun to run into that chatacter on a single track somewhere

I think it would be hard to fit the security detail on ST...

Wow... thats out of line.. He's a great American.. War hero and politician...

 

[X-Linked]

He he. Yeah OK.

I know of and have friends that are far better Americans and real war hero's. Certainly wouldn't claim a self inflicted purple heart as being a war hero anytime soon, anyways. We all have our opinions. Relax buddy, it was just a joke.
