They look ready to remove.

The weather was so nice for a bikeride. (E:tinypliny) let (e:hodown)'s borrow her bike so that we could take her down to the new waterfront. The sunset was amazing but sadly the clam stand was already boarded up.

Now that I finally got a bike I headed out to midnight mass last night. By 12:30am there must have been 300+ bikers at Allen St Holly Farms waiting to go.





I wish I had the foresight to use Google's free My Tracks app so that we could have seen speed, distance and location afterwards.

The amount of fireworks that went of on this trip was unbelievable. We traveled from Allen to Niagara Square where the bikes filled up the entire circle going around and around. I wish I had a pic of it from up top. At some point around here something happend to sameer because we didn't see him anymore.

Then down to the sand hills on the Buffalo River. It was so dark I could not get picture but the highlights were two dudes doing linked somersaults down the sand hill while holding lit sparklers in their pockets, people shooting the Verizon sign with bottle rockets and smoking a beer.



The next stop was a gas station ore on the eastside. They must have been so excited to get so much business at 2am. I think they sold out of beer. The scariest part was fireworks at the gas station. I quickly moved away from the tanks.





Here you can see (e:Terry) was one of the first people in line.


Next we made a trip to a park I had never seen on the buffalo river where we had a massive bonfire. Here is the google map to it.

...and here are two pics of the location thanks to google maps







At the park with the bonfire, people sand the anthem followed by a bunch of "America - Fuck Ya!"


This is the only example of the song I could find on youtube

Last stop was delaware park then my backyard with (e:keithT) and Casey.

We made it as far as Bethlehem Steel and (e:terry) stopped to get beer. I don't think I am capable of going all the way to benette yet. Well going there and getting back.
