A Sunday bike ride with 5700 of my closest friends

I rode in the Pan Mass Challenge this past weekend, and surprised myself by riding faster than expected. I did not ride Saturday (it rained all day; my injury and lack of training really paid off …), but Sunday was a wonderfully cool day for a ride with just a few sprinkles. The weather and the adrenaline helped me out. Thank you to everyone who has supported my ride and the Pan Mass Challenge. We're working to raise $40 million this year to add to the $414 million raised to date by the PMC for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute's Jimmy Fund. There is still time to whip out your credit card (or those appreciated securities) and join in — on my PMC profile (offer ends October 1).
