Midnight Bike Ride 2002

This year the annual midnight bike ride was during the night of August 18th. This time we were in the middle of a heat wave in Boston, so the temperature was really nice during night. No need for that extra jacket  It started partly cloudy and during the night we got more and more clouds. The light rain did however not start until  I was 10 minutes from my home at around 8am. The tour was also very different from the other three years I participated and I got to see a lot of new areas of Boston. That was very nice. I really enjoyed this years trip!

Because of bad light conditions (it was night...) most pictures were taken with slow shutter speed and no flash, resulting sometimes in motion and shaking blur. I included most pictures I took though.
