Two short weeks ago, I finished my fourth Pan-Mass Challenge. As always it is a great, well-run event, a 2-day ride to Provincetown to raise money for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute (you can still sponsor my ride here: http://bit.ly/2011pmc).
What was special about this year?
The last year was a tough ...

An overdue Pan-Mass Challenge update.
First off, thanks to many of you, I have met my minimum fundraising requirement ($4,200) for the ride in record time! With a full four weeks to go from last weekend, I think it's worth sticking with and see if I can hit "Heavy Hitter" status; ...

What a weekend-- I got out 3 of 4 days, ending with our first 40-mile ride of the training season, and I really feel like we're snapping into shape as we train for the Pan-Mass Challenge.
Fundraising, as I mentioned in my last post, is going well, but we are still ...
