Always nice to see everyone!
Ah damn I would’ve been there yesterday but I was driving back from Texas.
Seeing the freeway monstrosities TXDOT has built there really makes me appreciate how relatively tempered NCDOT is when it comes to building urban freeways.
One of these days I’ll be back in Raleigh the same time there is a meet-up. I had a great time the one/two I’ve went to. Hey to everyone!!
Hated to miss (again). Headed up north for back to back races this weekend. But I did check off two new states on my road to 50. WOOHOO!!
Quick summary: Boston traffic sucks (Friday mid day). Portland Maine is incredible. Don’t run a half marathon in rural Vermont unless you have a really good sense of direction and sunscreen. Boston traffic still sucks (Monday morning).
On our visit to Portland, Maine, we too thought it was pretty cool. I need to make my way back there some time. See you next month.
Boston’s fun, but driving anywhere nearby was awful 15 years ago. I can’t imagine it’s better now. My trip to rural VT a few years ago, everything looked beautiful but smelled like
Even Burlington.
Portland is definitely cool. I found out about it after I moved away LOL.
At least you got to cross off some good states. All I mostly have left is like Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, etc.
I’ll check off New Hampshire this fall, which will finish the East Coast, and Louisiana in January. Still have a way to go, but Maine was State #30 and Vermont was #31.
Definitely saw more than
in Vermont.
I went to Vermont in the winter after a big snowfall - everything looked gorgeous, walked out onto Lake Champlain, smelled nice. Brutally cold, definitely made the awesome beers feel earned.
Love seeing more people outside of New England discover how great Portland is. When I was a kid most of the tourists were from Mass. Granted, it’s changed a lot since then.
It’s almost time for another one of these. Where are we going this time?
I just picked Crank Arm.
That’s not a rooftop but I’ll allow it.
Tenth and Terrace in August?
Man imagine having 2 downtown nerd events competing for your presence on the same night!
Is this what being cool is like?
Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight.
Yes! I kept forgetting to post here but I’m looking forward to some beers later.
I’m looking forward to both beers and seeing everyone.
Have fun. I’m back in Miami. See you in September.
