I Have Moved

Looking for amidnightrider?    I'm HERE

BUT......If your looking for maps and write ups  of a plethora of bike rides near and far, go over to the right and check out the "Pages" menu.  There you will find lots of good information about rides I have done over the years.  Directions, photos, stories, GPS info and much much more. It's a work in progress that will be ready in time for the spring riding season. 

However, if your here simply perusing, drop down a bit on the right of this page  to the "blog archive" section. Pick a year and month to find the ride or story you want to check out. 

I had to add word verification to the comments to stop the large amount of spam I am getting.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Sights of Fairhaven, MA

It's called the 20/20 style of shooting video.  Shoot a short video, take 20 steps and shoot another one.  Do this 20 times.  I substituted the 20 steps by riding my bike for a minute between videos.  This one was done with a Cannon Power Shot 810 and a Nokia Luna 928 smart phone.  Neither are really good for shooting video but neither is that bad.

Riding New York City

I tossed it around for a while but took the plunge at the last minute to again ride the Five Boroughs of NYC in May. It's such a great ride and what better way to see New York city than by riding a bike on closed streets, roads, highways and bridges.

I have done this ride six times in the past.  I took two years off when the tour was having logistics problems.  Two years ago I saw that they fixed those kinks and because it was so organized last year, where I finished before noon even with two longish breaks, it was an easy decision to sign up again.
