The weather has gotten better and the bike training has become more- well “intense” is not the word when you are having fun. And if I have not made it clear yet, I am having fun riding my bike, getting ready for the Pan-Mass Challenge, a two-day ride across Massachusetts to raise money for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute (please consider sponsoring me at http://pmc.org/DH0159).
Over the Memorial Day weekend, I managed to put in 100 miles in training rides, two of them with five local friends. Monday, we took a ride that I stretched out to 50 miles, my first ride of that length this year (my PMC route will be 165 miles over two days). The video below shows a little bit of that ride- much of it a sunnier version of last week’s ride through the farm country of Dover, Massachusetts.

Nice! Keep riding, the miles to PMC are the build up to an awesome weekend! BTW – what technology did you use to capture the video.
Closer by the mile!
Larry– I use a flip cam mounted on the handlebars with a crazy tripod I got at Target. Pretty simple, actually. I’m considering getting a Flip HD, but the regular Flip ultra is doing me fine for now.
