Starting shortly before midnight on Saturday August 17, 2002 and
continuing until after dawn on Sunday the 18th the Back Bay
Midnight Pedalers held their 14th annual
Boston By Bike at Night
ride. This year it was co-sponsored by the
Boston Natural Areas Network
Below are some pictures I took on the ride. Since the
Ted Williams Tunnel
was on the ride for the second time, and I didn't have my camera last
time, that's where I spent most of my film. Click on any image to
bring up a larger version.
Riders mill about while the
organizers coordinate with the
State Police,
before...
we start to ride through the
Ted Williams Tunnel.
Don't tell me you thought we'd
get through the tunnel without encountering some construction. This
is the Big Dig after all.
"Birds eye view" as I coast
through part of the tunnel. I really like the effect created by the
"antlers" on my bike.
Yup, we even had a
State Police
escort.
Of course, after riding through
the tunnel, we had to stop and look back at the city.
A few hours and miles later, the
sun rose. We didn't quite make it to the usual
Castle
Island stop in time for sunrise. It was pretty anyway.
