Pan-Mass Redux

The first picture is of Chris and our friend Kathy preparing for take-off; the second is just a snap of some of the five thousand-plus riders. They've raised over 21,650,000 with this years ride. The Dana-Farber Cancer Center is the recipient of all of this hard-earned money. It's inspiring to see all these bikes and know that most of these folks are riding for a reason--someone they love has or is battling cancer. Yeah Chris, Yeah Kathy, Yeah Tracey, Yeah Howie, and everyone else who pedaled across Massachusetts this weekend. See you all next year.

( I had to get home to figure out the camera workings. I think I'm set now.)

Pan-Mass Challenge

There was no time to not write poetry yesterday because I was traveling to Massachusetts. The first weekend in August means Pan-Mass Challenge, the bike ride across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to raise funds to fight cancer. http://www.pmc.org/About.asp Do I ride? um, not a bike. I am the support vehicle for my husband as he rides with thousands of other cyclists from Sturbridge to Provincetown. He's out there right now. I'm posting from our hotel room. (I'll catch up-- it's not like he can pedal 65 mph.)
I'll try to post a picture from this morning's take-off as soon as I figure out how the new camera to computer thingy works. In the meantime, if you want to check out his page at the PMC or make a donation to his ride, go here:
