That is really sad but not at all surprising.Seems like dealing with the police can be a waste of time (not really surprising to any of us really). Guess I would have to think about contacting the authorities if I were in a similar situation. Seems from a few other threads here more headaches are created than resolved. It just sucks that people get away with treating others like that.

I’d go for the first option. Martha’s Vineyard (no actual vineyard) deserves a trip of its own, and is easily explored by bike at a leisurely pace.
We have turned into those people now so a winery really is something we would do for fun already. Heading up to New England usually takes several days to meet and eat with all required family members.

Another addition to your pro/con list, you may want to consider overall weather too. May 5th seems kinda early in the season for a ride up in New England.
Would it be impossible to make a longer trip out of it and head out to Colorado or Arizona?
One of these days I need to see what riding in the high desert or in the Rockies feels like.Oh I didn’t even think about that….I hate the icy Atlantic “springs”. I have a selective memory loss when it comes what I deem as unacceptably cold weather. Especially when it is just warm enough to rain but cold enough that it freezes. Just gross. Ha thanks for jogging my memory.
I would rather take the gamble on a trip to somewhere new but for this one I’d really like to keep it a good driving distance. My patience for car trips seems to be decreasing the older I get. Five hours in the car should be just about enough. We do typically make the trip up 95 to RI at least twice in the spring and summer, but I have yet to meet 75W from Richmond.
I find the idea of recreational destination vacations quite interesting. I’m not at the point in this hobby where my equipment is worth shipping but I like my bike and do not much care for rental fleets (exception being the convenience of BikeShare). I need to build a better collection, but this is still a point of miscommunication in my house these days. I think riding through the desert or the Rockies would be an epic ride and might be worth the headaches and logistics issues.
Welcome sir,

when it’s not raining buckets or 120 degrees at 6:00 a.m.
Good so now I’m not the only one who takes bad days off.
Hi there,
Welcome to the group.
We live in a condo and only have 2 living inside now. We have one of these.
Good luck with the hunt.
You sir continue to be the man.
100 miles on a fixie huh
Do you still ride in the Monday after something like that?
Great cause, glad I can help a little.
I’m so waiting to see the rides a 10 speed everywhere on the news to make me feel really bad about calling today a rest day.

I’ve got some wine being chilled, what does goes with drenching rain and wind? I was thinking a crisp white.
Cheers and stay safe all.

Amazing that a 5.8 100 miles away could cause such a commotion. In California, that would have been a total ho hum. I tried to explain to my co-workers that a new steel and glass building can handle that amount of shaking no sweat. But oh well, they were out in the streets!
I wonder if the plates we sit on are made of rock that transmits shock over a longer distance as opposed to west coast faults. The distance and intensity reported all over the east coast seem pretty interesting. The fact that the majority of the life long east coast residents (myself included) have never felt an earthquake of maybe a magnitude of 3 could also be a slight contributing factor to the reports. Seems like something very instinctual in everyone says “Get up now and move”.
What seems really…well kind of frightening is the lack of preparedness and failure of the cell networks, and fairly quick traffic lockdown in many segments of the area. I know my wife and I don’t have a backup plan if something more significant (>non forecasted weather) or if relocation were needed.
This area is still dangerously unprepared.Seems like our weather phenomena tend to come in twos.
What’s going on here…
So I guess we might be able to answer the question many of us asked during the week after the blizzard, the same storm with rain would be much easier…seems like now we might find out.
