SaturdayÕs PhotosIt
was a warm, dry weekend after a rainy Friday afternoon (like many PMCs weÕve
experienced before) At the Sturbridge Starting Line, 5:15am
Carl, David & Mike ready
to go. David wasnÕt able to ride because he had shattered his left elbow in a
fall on a training ride the prior weekend but came to the start to lend
support. The arm sling turned out to be a decent cup holder. HereÕs the video of the
roll-out. Carl and Mike zip by at about 3:25. After the riders had rolled
out, CarlÕs support team remained behind. Apponequet School Water Stop
MikeÕs family came out to
cheer: Michelle, Dale and Evan saw Carl but missed Mike at a great waterstop
that features the pedal partners. Rolling in to Mass Maritime Academy
Mike successfully reaches the
Saturday finish after a long, hot ride, and still with a smile on his face. On Board the TSS
Enterprise
Carl and Mike had an outside
cabin for two on the Mass Maritime AcademyÕs training ship Enterprise– most
importantly, notice the vent in the ceiling, piping in cool, dry A/C. The
view of Buzzards Bay out the porthole wasnÕt bad either. At Mass Maritime Academy
Carl and Mike relax on the
great lawn at MMA. Notice the solar panels on the light poles in the
background. MMA has been ÔgreenÕ for a number of years. Nothing like a volunteer with
a cold bottle of water and a waiting massage appointment (notice the massage
tables in the background). She was CarlÕs masseuse. Harpoon
Brewery continues to be our favorite PMC sponsor. Nothing like a ÒUFOÓ
hefeweizen at the end of hard day on the roadÉ |
