This weekend Maile and I traveled to Boston so she could visit Grandma and Papa and I could ride in my 4th Pan-Mass Challenge.
The ride this year was pretty incredible. Saturday was some of the worst weather they have ever seen on the ride. Cold, hard rain for most of it. A decent number of crashes and 30+ people treated for hypothermia! Luckily, myself and the rest of my friends I ride with made it through just fine.
On the flip side, Sunday was a tremendous day of riding. Temperature was perfect and we easily had our best second day finishing in record time. As always, lots of good memories were made and it was honor to ride along side Ryan, Rob, Teddy, Adam, Tony and Drew.
On Sunday, we took a ferry back from Provincetown to Boston and Grandma, Papa and Maile came into the city to meet me.
You know that old Warrant song – “I don’t need to be the kind of the world / As long as I’m the hero to this little girl”?
Exactly.
