Bike for MS

What an awesome ride we had! I never thought I’d be able to bike sixty miles. Thanks to all of our good friends and families’ donations, we met the $250 dollar goal. (I still beat you :p ) It was fun to ride with all of your buddies from The Dennis Group.

Thanks very much for getting us a hotel room with your points. Even though it was a chillier walk than I expected, I had fun eating at the Anchor Ale House and listening to the old men sing karaoke.

The bike path to the Woods Hole ferry was so pretty! The pinkish sunrise over the calm water was a perfect start to the day.

“Chris, don’t forget your ferry tickets!”  and then I forgot mine. {sigh}

It’s funny that we bought bagels for breakfast, and then found out that they had free bagels at the start of the race!

Look, you can see the lines from the new Dennis Group shorts I have on under my spandex. Thanks for getting me those so that I fit in with the rest of the Hardboiled team.

In this picture of us, you can already see the hints of pink on my face that turned into a full blown sunburn…. oops, we didn’t plan very well. Next time, we’ll have to make sure we use sunscreen.

Look! We even surpassed the sixty miles to almost get eighty! Hot tamale, who would have thought I could bike that far and still be in a good mood; it must have been all of the yummy sandwiches and snacks they had for us along the way.

Midnight Marathon Ride

http://www.bostonsos.org/adventure/boston-midnight-marathon/

This was quite the experience! It was super cool seeing all of those bikers at the starting point in the middle of the night with their bike lights on, with crazy costumes like a sock monkey or a bright angel.

Kayla and Sam were great bike buddies 🙂

The pancake breakfast was good, but it took much too long for us to get our food. Next year, I think we should do our own breakfast so that we can get a little more sleep before the marathon. (Even though you let me sleep in for an extra 3 hours while you drove Char to the starting line… what a nice boyfriend I have :-p )
