So many of the well-known large group rides (in MA, for instance, B2B, P2P, and of course, the PMC) started with a small group just having a blast out on their bikes. I won't be at all surprised if Mike M.'s "Granite Grind Autumn Spectacular" ends up being a major event somewhere down the line. Despite cold air, rain, wet leaves on a narrow, steep bike path, and a dicey set of railroad tracks, my first ride of this neo-classic was fantastic. I snapped the photo at left at the base of the Cannon Mountain Tramway. And before you cry "arranged," be assured that this particular parking of bikes was totally "organic." (Had I arranged it, I would have inserted the orange themed/tired bike at the far end between the yellow and red color schemes.) |
