[Free-Ride-Junkie]

How are bars on carding out there?? I'll only be 19 (hit 20 in October Haha). I will try and make it out if it doesn't conflict with college at all. Nothing like having my ass handed to me by a bunch of rocks.

[jamesb]

Most likely there.

If you get to some bars early while they are still serving dinner they often won't be carding yet.

[Free-Ride-Junkie]

:run: Haha. In the end it doesn't matter though. I still plan on trying to come out. Is there someone offering up garage floor space or should I plan on finding a hotel/motel?

[Elan]

[Bryan]

I'm told that Rockport is a nice place to ride. From the pictures it looks amazing!

[Bryan]

edit, quote, fuck I am tired

[aki]

Talked to Joel the other day (lucky13) and he will be flying out so we'll be showing up. I don't have a bike so it'll be mostly shooting photos.

[trialsgurl]

I'm most likely going. It will be my first comp! I'm wicked excited!

[Bryan]

too bad it's not a comp

or is it? who is organizing? can I help set sections? can we work some speed trials in?

[KeepRollin]

[trauma100]

Hans is super bummed that he can't make it as he will be in europe just missing it by a week or so.

Jeff Lenosky said it sounded like a lot of fun and will look into his demo schedual to drop in perhaps.

Kevin Drake... where you at?

Peter Helenbrand: Japan.



Most of the B.C. riders are content to ride amongst themselves in their beautiful country, but hey, whatever. It is pretty nice up there EH? Oh right, I remember someone saying that a whole group of them were saving their travel budget for next KOXX DAYZ. Cool.

[aki]

:( No Hans.

Today sucks!

[Giant1118]

[darkside]

Kevin Drake... where you at?

I want in, but I need to combine efforts with someone for transportation and lodging once I get to boston. I'll PM you tomorrow.

Andy, I almost have enough frequent flyer miles that I'd bum you a flight, but I'm one roundtrip to china short.

[AndyT]

dno if i'd have the time...but maybe?

[THEDEMOLITIONMAN]

I'm thinking about going, if I'm not at my home.Once I go home, I'll get locked into one of old mans projects and then my summer is over..lol











THEDMAN

[RyanMcVicker]

hey is tra coming to this?? anyone know?

[aki]

Don't think so...

[darkside]

I'm looking at flights that bring me in on thursday night (6:00) and leave monday morning (6:30AM).

Looking for somewhere to crash in Boston on Thursday and Sunday nights. If necessary I can grab a cab to/from the airport.

I could be bringing goodies from work to this this shindig...

[john trials]

Any schedule of rides/events yet? What's the plan for each day?

I'm working overtime now, hoping to get the 24th off from work. Are people going to be riding Rockport then, or Boston? I'll take the day off to ride any natural, but I'm not taking a day off to ride urban.

[aki]

Joel & I will be riding on the 24th when he gets in Friday morning.

[Bryan]

people can crash at my place but it is about an hour from rockport. I expect the majority of the time will be spent on the rocks, not in boston

[THEDEMOLITIONMAN]

I'd be able to help out a couple of people, if they needed to crash. After the ride at Rockport, we can come back and ride in Boston and other towns as well.





Let me know, so I can get my ass back here from my home.

THEDMAN

[trauma100]

Saturday the 25th Rockport with an after party, and you guys can decide what day(s) for urban or if we want to hit Rockport again or another spot.

[KeepRollin]

I'm checking out my possible travel times to NY and DC, but I don't fly out of Boston till the 30th?

[aki]

Oh nice! I'm just trying to figure out which days to take off, most likely Friday the day you get in & Monday...for recovering :rofl:

[KeepRollin]

[trauma100]

Anyone who wants to camp, bring a tent ...we have a spot for you at the Sinister camp on the hill... bring bug spray,a smile,and lithium for the bipolarzzzz

[jaimer]

Is it free?

Donny I'm camping dunno about you and Dan.

[trauma100]

Is it free?

Yes.. but French speaking is not allowed. :nono:

[jaimer]

Were english don't worry, only Mcdub is french.

[guumer]

I wish i could speak french. I can hardly speak English.

how close is this camp place to the rocks? how close is the closest hotel thats not 100000000$?

[yay]

sorry mate, all hotels in boston area are $1000000 :cry:
but dont worry, we'll put you in the tent!

[THEDEMOLITIONMAN]

sorry mate, all hotels in boston area are $1000000 :cry:
but dont worry, we'll put you in the tent!

Not true, you can find a lot of cheap hotels in Cambridge,Dorchester,the YMCA in Boston,Chandler Inn in Boston, just to name a few. There is a hotel down the road from me in Cambridge, which goes for $89 a night and has continental bfast.

There are other spots in Boston to crash, besides the 4Seasons..lol

THEDMAN

[Bryan]

I can put anyone up for free about an hour out from Rockport and give them free rides there. PM

As long as they are housebroken.

[THEDEMOLITIONMAN]

Boston is a kick ass place to chill in the summer, it's the biggest college town in the world. The cool thing about staying close to the city, is you can ride your bike into town from your hotel.Woman are out, the bars close at 2am and there are a lot of woman out..lol.PM me and I can help you find a place to stay, I have a few friends who can get me kick ass deals on some hotels in Boston.Also, it's only about a 45-60 min drive to Rockport.I can fit about 5-6 people in my car and my buddy is going as well in his Suburban.




During the time of the event, is when Boston is going to be swarming with people.

THEDMAN

[halfazn]

I'm gonna try to make it up there. anyone from the baltimore vicinity heading up? or am I the only one?

[Little Android Man]

so what is the schedule for real? there's too many pages for me to read hehe..

i'll be in rockport from the 24-26, like 5 minutes from Bear Skin Neck... where/when are we riding? and is the comp for real or is it just a big group ride every day?

me wanna know !!!!

[trauma100]

me wanna know !!!!
Saturday is the only day thats set in stone for Rockport hopefully the weather cooperates. as far as everything else... I'm leaving it up to all you peeps on what you want to do.. Obviously we need to ride Boston/check out the city etc. ... depending on everyones schedule and what they want to do we can all have a vote on what works for everyone.

As far as a comp goes... It's in everyones hands.. I would rather get everyones opinion and get the majority instead of saying...yes.. UCI rules beginer,sport,expert,pro = "yawn". I'm thinking something different that hasnt been done yet so we can laugh and talk shit as opposed to people getting pissed for fiving and just general run of the mill Trials.

[Giant1118]

Dont worry i have trucker corp discounts at hotels...wont cost too much. Think of shawi, that was 80 bucks for one night.

I dont see us paying more then 50, plus we can get one big king size bed and cuddle:eek3danc:

BTW this is like 99% go unless someone dies and cannot take my shift. Im excited

[Giant1118]

And honestly i dont want to do a comp only because i think its way more fun to just ride and play horse if need be. a comp takes work, something i dont think anyone wants to do.

prolly leaving the friday night, driving all night and showing up in the morning (10 hour drive). any specific time set to meet up? Street ride on sunday?

[aki]

I like the Rockport Saturday, Boston ride Sunday

[Little Android Man]

I like the Rockport Saturday, Boston ride Sunday

for really. i'd be up for that, and i'll be with 2 other d00dz as well. maybe friday just have like an open ride on the rocks at halibut just so everyone can meet up and get acquainted, then saturday have a super ride all day in rockport with the horse games or whatever else, then sunday boston? :ugh2:? idk.

[trauma100]

sounds like a plan

[Giant1118]

sounds amazing... i dont see why people need time to get aquainted, i think we all pretty much know eachother

[darkside]

Anyone have floor space in Boston for Thursday night?

:x:

[firewrx612]

Anyone have floor space in Boston for Thursday night?

:x:

I may have bed space, since no TRA or Hans.

that goes for others as well.

I'm about 20 minutes from downtown and an hour from Rockport by car.

[Stikman]

Aww man, I was looking forward to coming over for this. Too bad Japan is on at the same time.
I wanna see pics and vid from this weekend! :)

[AndyT]

i wanna see dj style video

[Little Android Man]

sounds amazing... i dont see why people need time to get aquainted, i think we all pretty much know eachother

i was just saying.. it seems like theres a bunch of people who are coming in late friday or early saturday so what i was trying to say was friday would be the day to get everyone together and plan something out if we don't do it here first.

i actually only konw like 2 people who are going. i'm not on here much really, and i'm afraid i left a bad impression on the people i met last time i went to rockport..

...new beginnings! :greddy::coold:

[aki]

I think we need a new thread confirming who's going & when. Joel & I will be there for sure on Friday, at least in Boston.

[trauma100]

i'm not on here much really, and i'm afraid i left a bad impression on the people i met last time i went to rockport..

[firewrx612]

Who is this Little Android Man?

[Little Android Man]

What happened?

there was a little group ride type dealy and me and my cousin just showed up, rode pretty much to ourselves and left without saying much. maybe i'm just a little girl though and i overanalyze stupid things like this and then embarass myself on internet forums because i'm cool like that.

oh yeah, my name is joe

[KeepRollin]

yeah I remembered who you were. It's cool, it's better than being too friendly :riaa:

[Bryan]

it's better than being too friendly :riaa:

:wtc:

[guumer]

it's better than being too friendly :riaa: well i am fucked. i talk wayyyy to much.

[KeepRollin]

I don't think you guys understand what I'm trying to say...

[darkside]

:gaybar:

:nono:

[aki]

Now I'm scared

[jaimer]

Now I'm scared
I'm aroused :yum:

[brian_E]

i am officially staying home.

wait i'll probably get more sensitive gay crap there..

ok i'm going again.

[Giant1118]

[john trials]

Would anyone going to the OTN days be willing to do a skills clinic sometime during the weekend? Help out some beginner/intermediate riders!?

I could use some tips and I'm sure some other riders would appreciate some info to improve their riding. I seem to be doing so much riding by myself, and not progressing.........

[uncleantrialsinner]

John – a skills clinic! Great idea. I don’t have time to ride often and I usually ride alone too. Talk about slow progression – I’m still dialing in my rear wheel balance and it’s only been 2+ years! :rant2: :momaru:

When I do a group ride the people I’m with are waaaay more advanced, very supportive, and willing to help when I ask. But I usually feel uncomfortable asking (too much) since they are there to enjoy their ride too, not instruct me.

Anyway – I’d like to attend a skills clinic too. :coold:

[aki]

Just ask...it's the only way to learn! I've learned a lot from guys that are considered pro as well as beginners. People learn by teaching too :)

Yea, just ask for pointers or if you can tag along with one rider in particular and get pointers from them.

Just cause we are smartasses on the internets doesn't mean we are in person,.. oh wait. :hsugh:

[Giant1118]

no need for a skills clinic just feel free to ask, i dont think anyone wouldnt be willing to offer advice.

[darkside]

Just cause we are smartasses on the internets doesn't mean we are in person,.. oh wait. :hsugh:

p.s. my advice is better than joel's!

[Giant1118]

could someone gimme a general idea of some hotels in the area, was thinking i should go for a hotel in boston that way we go ride rockport on the sat head back to boston that night and ride boston the next day. Any idea of hotels in the boston area??? Found one for 70 bucks a night in Wakefeild, is that just way out of the way?

[aki]

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=EN&geocode=&q=hotel+near+rockport+ma&ie=UTF8&z=13&om=1

Those are the ones I considered though I'll probably end up going back up and coming back down on Sunday. I know nothing about hotels around Boston.

Here you go..

Check these places out:
You want to look for hotels in these towns: Arlington,Cambridge,Roxbury,Brookline,Somerville,D orchester,Charlestown,Jamaica Plains. Finding one in those towns would work out the best for you, Roxbury would be the best town. Most likely the most expensive, it's right in the city.You can try the YMCA in Boston and an inn, called the Chandler Inn, that's right in the city to.There is a also a hotel in Arlington and it's close to the train for $89 a night.
Stay away from Wakefield, that's way out of the city.Try to look for places in those towns and you should be all set.From all those towns you can bike into the city and you'd be able to have easy access to the train.From living in Boston for the past 13 yrs and ridinig a trials bike for a large part of that. You don't want to be any farther away from the main city, than those towns mentioned.

G-luck,

How hard is it navigating through Boston?

[THEDEMOLITIONMAN]

How hard is it navigating through Boston?

Via bike is very easy, with a car, it can be very difficult. There are a lot of one way roads and it can be a pain in the ass to get around.For the couple days that your going to be here, you'll be fine.







THEDMAN

[aki]

Sounds like a stranger driving in Seattle...it's a grid full of one way streets.

So tempted to just get me a GPS navigation.

Wait I can use Joel for reading maps!

[THEDEMOLITIONMAN]

Riding my bike around the city, really helped me out.If I am back from my home, I can show you guys the city,via my car and my bike...make sure you buckle up, my car is fast..lol

Here you go..

Check these places out:
You want to look for hotels in these towns: Arlington,Cambridge,Roxbury,Brookline,Somerville,D orchester,Charlestown,Jamaica Plains.


Keep in mind though that Roxbury, Dorchester, Charlestown, and Jamaica Plain are all actually Boston.

So if you look at an address it may say Boston and be in one of those sections of Boston.

Especially if the Hotel is located in Dorchester ("Dawt") or Roxbury. Because a hotel doesn't want to advertise the fact that it's in one of those two sections, since they are associated with high crime. But there are, in fact very nice areas of Dorchester and Roxbury, it just has a bad connotation.


The different sections of Boston are (in no particular order):

Charlestown
East Boston
Boston Proper
South Boston
Dorchester
Brighton
Roxbury
Jamaica Plain
Hyde Park
West Roxbury

Those section are further broken up into neighborhoods
Brighton: (oak Square, Allston)
East Boston: (Maverick Square, Orient Heights, Eagle Hill, Wood Island)
Boston Proper: (Fenway, Beacon Hill, Back Bay, The North End, South End, China Town Etc.)

Etc

Boston grew by annexation, which is why there is so much confusion.

His way is more organized than mine, if you can get your hotel anywhere in Roxbury..I'd go for Roxbury.Roxbury is considered Boston, so 02115 is the zip you want for that.

Buahahahah I forgot about that. :bowrofl:

[firewrx612]

oh, if you have to ask for directions on the street it's "Comm Ave" and "Mass Ave"

If you say "Commonwealth Avenue" or "Massachusetts Avenue" people won't know what the fuck you're are talking about.


Look for the Pine Street Inn:momaru:

This is the cheapest hotel I've found so far that's reasonably close:

Maybe the best thing to do is, find a hotel and before you book it, just IM me (or other native) and make sure it's close and not super sketchy.

O.K. homies.. so I just came back from Halibut point and spoke with the genaral manager there and wanted to relay some info.
Halibut point is a "No Bicycles" state park however where we ride is on town property so no big issue there .. the only issue is that we access the rocks via a park trail. The manager has no problem with us useing the trail for access and the parking lot for parking, I gave him some guidlines on what we would do so it would be "low impact" on the park since it's a major time for tourist and park goers.

1.All bikes need to be walked down the trail head to the rocks (see attached map). I suggested this because anyone who has been down the trail knows how bad the run off is and keeping in mind that we will be low impact it's best for park/trail wear and tear.

2.Theres no riding allowed in the parking lot by anyone at anytime. again this is prime time tourist season and there's alot of people that are stockholders and are members of the trustees of reservations that frequent the park and we dont want to piss any off them off so we can keep this prime spot open for Trials.

3. Try and keep time spent in the parking lot to a minimum. pre rig and get down to the Rocks as soon as possible.(out of sight - out of mind)

4. there's a $2.00 fee for parking per car... no biggie

5. I told the manager that as a "kinder more gentle" Bicycle community that we would be willing to make a charitable donation to the park. I figured $5 or $10 per person would be good ($10 if your a baller) this way we can make this a yearly event and maybe open the park up for all trials geeks in the future. If time allows and you want to walk around the park these guys do a fantastic job with upkeep and bust their ass.

6. I'm thinking we can all meet at the parking lot at 11:00am sharp (or sooner?)

trail map (PS SKILLZ!!)

I know alot of this sounds a little tight assed but this is my backyard and my name is tied with how things go so just trying to keep the neighbors happy :h5:

let me know if you have anymore input or suggestions
D.

[lucky13]

I had an idea,.. lookout:

As far as accountability in "Walking the bike" perhaps you should pull the front wheel off and walk it so nobody questions you?

Sounds pretty tight on the security, will we be confiscated if they don't like it?

[darkside]

rules and regulations...

All sounds fine to me. I'm down with keeping things legit. Would suck to be kicked out.

Sounds great Darrel.

I've taken to walking my bike down the trail anyway, so as not to piss people off. Perfectly reasonable.

I'm in for monies as well, I've been thinking about joining for a while anyway.

[KeepRollin]

Not security. The property that ajoins where we are riding is a park and some people that go there work on it and get really worked up about people riding bikes on it. I've recieved a couple speeches. Never thrown out.

[aki]

Whoops the first time I went I rode those trails :noes:

Rules are good. Can't wait :)

[aki]

What time are we meeting?

[Little Android Man]

11 am saturday? that sounsd good to me. i'll bring me some donation bux too

but what about friday and sunday? what's goin on those dayzzzzz

[aki]

I believe Sunday is Boston.

Friday, at least for Joel & I, he gets in at 6am so we'll probably ride in Boston if not other billion spots.

[trauma100]

Friday look's like it's panning out to be a mellow Boston ride then beers after maybe?? Sunday is majority rules day

[aki]

Sounds good

[guumer]

cant have beers:hs: how much American money should i bring?

[lucky13]

cant have beers:hs: how much American money should i bring?

Just bring a cash card or credit card? The american way :ugh2:.

If that isn't possible, plan for the same amount that you would spend on a weekend in Canada since the currency isn't much different right now. And you are drinking less as under 21 so ,.. yay budget.

[Bryan]

debit card >>> paper money. don't front

[brian_E]

[trauma100]

[john trials]

Things are looking good for me to get Friday off from work.

As long as there are no disasters at work, I'm riding Rockport on Friday (probably around 11:00-12:00 I'll get there). No Boston for me.

[trauma100]

I'll just be hanging with peeps looking at pussy and maybe riding curbs...dont be antisocial..it's all love

[aki]

If anyone is needing brake pads let me know & I'll bring them with me. Got bunch of Heatsink's & Moe's in stock. Possibly getting the Coust's in plastic backing by end of the week.
