#PMC2014 Routes Viewable Online!

The 35th Pan Mass Challenge for the Jimmy Fund is happening this weekend.   If you are the least bit curious as to where in the Great Commonwealth of Massachusetts  you're likely to find more more than 5,300 cyclists on the road this weekend: please do read on...

The intrepid PMC support staff has updated the PMC website with interactive maps detailing ALL of the various #PMC2014 routes.  These maps are view-able in your browser using zoom-able Google maps features... AND you can even download the .gpx tracks for any of the routes, suitable for loading into your favorite GPS or GPS app (if you are really that much of a geek).

The #PMC2014 routes are here: at http://pmc.org/ride/routes

Please feel free to use the route information to figure out

  • where you could hang out this weekend and cheer on all the riders helping to fund a cure for cancer, or
  • what roads you might want to avoid if you're out running time-critical errands this weekend
    or
  • how the heck to get to Provincetown.

So... if someone you know is riding this year you can locate their route from the above link, then ogle their path -- all from the comfort of your own web browser.  It's nowhere near as much fun as actually riding the route (trust me).  But on the other hand, your butt won't hurt when you get to the end.

Big thanks to the PMC for making all this logistical data available to all!

And finally: please support a rider this year.  It doesn't have to be me -- but please support the good work at Dana-Farber with your donations to the PMC Jimmy fund.

That's all for tonight.
