brian and I moved to newmarket, new hampshire, over the weekend, on our bicycles. we left boston and pedaled north to newmarket, covering some 80 miles in 7 or so hours. the original idea was all brian's, he brought it up one day at buddy's diner in somerville during our lunch break.
we made bikes in somerville, we will be making bikes in newmarket - the hell with cars or trains or buses, lets move from one bike factory to the other, on bicycles!
genius, i'm in!
we met up at buddy's, the site of the plan's hatching. we arrived in full bike kits (read nerdy superhero spandex suits) and looked at maps while drinking coffee and eating eggs. we both were ready to hit the road and get the hell out of dodge.
our chariots! mister eddy merckx, meet independent fabrication's titanium factory lightweight.
we cut north east towards the coast and route 1A north, driving our steel horses past wretched hives of scum and villiany like somerville, everett, malden, lynn, saugus, peabody and salem. after salem it started to de-suburbanize and get a little bit country.
1-A was one of the best roads i have ever ridden on, shredding up the coast, past salt marshes, trashy beach towns, ocean views, good roads. the only hiccup we had in navigation was due to a bridge being out in newburyport, but it made for a good detour as we raced a high school kid on a mini bike and just crushed him. the sound of that little craphead's whining motor topping out at twenty miles an hour just desperately trying to get past us made us put the hammers down.
big ring davey!
3 tasker lane.
