Sunday morning Barbara and I headed up to Gillette stadium to meet my buddy Dennis and his wife Lorraine, for the Patriots send off celebration. This was my first time going to one of these, but Dennis had been to the last one and said there weren't that many people that showed up to it. I knew we were in trouble when I got off the exit from RT 495 onto RT 1 and the traffic was already backed up. About 45 minutes later we were in the parking lot and headed to the Pro Shop to meet up with Dennis and Lorraine. Barbara bought a few things before we headed to our seats and it's a good thing she did, because after the ceremony the lines were backed up outside the Pro Shop. They estimated 25,000 people showed up to wish the Pat's good luck.

Train Station Ride

Brand new bridge from the flood.

Return leg on the bikepath.

 John and I got a chance to get together today for a ride in South County. We started at 10:00 with the temp at 42 degree's and sunny skies. As the ride progressed the clouds started to roll in and it didn't get as warm as we had hoped. Still, we can't complain with 40 degree temps in January. John is doing well with his new pedals and who knows, maybe some time down the road he'll be able to go back to clipless pedals if his knee gets better.
