Lynda, Mike and Jocelyn on Sat am around 5:50 waiting for the National Anthem and the start!

Lynda.. ready to ride! full of energy, We got the bus from the Publick House and everything went very well.... got up around 4:15!

k... this is pretty sad looking, did I say that I was a morning person? ever!

The National Anthem sung before the 3-4,000 cyclists ready to ride to Bourne some 108 miles away! at 6AM

Mike, Mike, he's our man! He had shorts on that *vented*..

Lynda and I riding our 4th PMC TOGETHER! It was her 4th, my 6th and we had a great time together, as always! SolidWorks stars are on our heads.

At Bourne, we gathered for the SolidWorks team photo. Here with Stephanie, our Pedal Partner!

SolidWorks puts our tents on the Bay. Here's Bela and Lynda chiling out after the ride!

Tim... mmm, how many is that?

Jocelyn, Lynda, Mike, Me and Bela “flanking” each other :-) You can see the ship in the background and the tents. Bela slept in a tent, Jocelyn & Mike in the dorms, and Lynda and I shared a tent on the Bay.

Lynda... early am on Saturday waiting to cross the Bourne Bridge!

See the Bridge! there was a back up going across the bridge. We had to stick to one lane, which meant two lanes of cyclists.

Still waiting to get across the bridge - the only tie up of cyclists or waiting other than the start on Sat am.

Great photo of the last rest stop before the finish - taken by Bela!

Lynda's tribute to her friend, Marcie and other folks who have been or are affected by cancer.

Here's a close up of the sign Lynda wore.

Here I am. I wore beads around my neck with the name of those affected by cancer and those who have passed. Unfortunately the beads were not resistant to water!

Here's a closer view to see the beads..

Lynda and I at the last rest stop on Sunday. Not too much longer to go, but we knew that the Truro hills were coming.

Here's Tim .. photo courtesy of Bela.

Here I am, finishing up at the Family Finish! Wahoo!

Carol Huebner from Westford! For 5 of the 6 PMC's I have finished at the Family Finish and Carol has checked me it! It's cool, she always looks for me. Carol also lives in Westford! So neat!

Volunteers greeting me and handing me some water.

Rick, my son, greeted me this year for the first time! Cool!

Elaine, my sister in law, is nice enough to let us stay in Truro for a few days and has greeted me at the end of almost all of the PMCs!

John, double knee replacement and all, still there supporting me. What a man! am I lucky or what!

sunsets are beautiful as you look towards Provincetown from Truro

Monday - Well, I had to have fried clams ONCE... Elaine, Rick, John and my LA son, Rob. Rob joined us Sunday night!

this is where we ate the clams, et al.

OK... cannolis, how can you resist! I did get some exercise the past two days!

Rob planning the strategy to monopolize!

Rick, the banker, figuring out how to mortgage all of my properties to pay the rent to Rob... guess who didn't win!

Here they are.... Rick, Rob and John, on Monday night!

OK... why is this here? well, my son, Rob, who drove me to Sturbridge and I were trying to figure out how to keep Stephanie's balloons from flying around in the car. So we tied them to an icescraper. Then, Rob forgot to take it... so I think I can claim the sole distinction of bringing an icescraper to the PMC! Another GREAT PMC.... thanks to my friend, Lynda for riding with me! training with me! and putting up with me!!!!!
