PMC Count down

Well we are dealing with some challenges as we lead up to the Aug 7&8 Pan Massachusetts Challenge http://www.pmc.org/ . My mom is in the hospital and coming home today. She had some stomach pain and she is supposed to be our babysitter next weekend. We are ready to ride our borrowed tandem (pictured above) when the time comes. 5,000 riders will roll out with the tip of Cape Cod as their destination.

Heidi, Connor and I went out for a short training ride on the Schwinn Duo-Sport Tandem. We need to get a picture taken and posted. I will work on that. We gained our balance pretty quickly and I think Heidi will get comfortable in no time. Connor on the other hand really only sees a bike as utilitarian and a means to get to swim practice and back home.

Staycation July 5-10

Well, I am just taking a week off of work with no plans. OK I will watch the Tour de France for 2 hours everyday and try to ride everyother day. It is 92 degrees right now and I am heading out for Connor's baseball practice.

It looks like Heidi and I may be riding a tandem bike in the PMC event. She has a sinus infection and bronchitis which is causing her to lose valuable training time. I have a bike available to me from a friend in the bike club. I have promised not to go over 35 mph on the downhills if possible. We will be closer after this event or divorced.

Should be fun.
