I feel like I need to check in and report some training progress here -- especially since there's really only 7 more weekends available for "big rides" between now and the PMC. In addition to riding my bike to/from work (when it's not raining) and hitting the gym at lunch, I've finally managed to get in a couple of respectable rides this month (mileage-wise anyway -- let's just agree to not discuss speed, OK?)
Mid-May I managed to get in a "split" 53-miler, with an AM jaunt to NH on the rail trail, and a PM ride from Northboro to Littleton.
On June 1, I got in a really nice 58-mile ride out to Wachusett Reservoir, down to Northboro and back.

Then last weekend I was able to pick up a completely-unplanned 73-mile ride up through Ashby State Park, into NH and then back East and down to home.

I feel like I'll be ready physically for the PMC, if I can keep up the pace. But then again, I think the ride is really not the most difficult part of all this.
It's not about the ride; it's about raising money for cancer research and treatment. My goal this year is to personally raise $8,000. So please remember to donate to the PMC, soon. You can sponsor me on this year's ride with your tax-deductible donation by clicking here.
Thanks
