Voice Post: 2006 PMC: Bourne

The following is a transcription of a phone post that originally appeared in my main journal, here.

Hey everybody, I have arrived in Bourne, at the base of the Cape Cod Canal, after a 112 day ride in the saddle [transcriber's note -- not a 112 day ride in the saddle, 112-mile ride in 1 day] that featured a little bit of cramping, a lot of just general tiredness and heat on a beautiful weather day and it's really so far been a pretty positive experience.

I want to especially again thank all of my contributors, my sponsors, because I've already met both my fundraising minimum as well as my most ambitious goal and blowing right by those and continuing on, so . . .

All the news is good at this point and I've already had 3 bowls of ice cream here, because the ice cream tends to run out early. I've already had my massage, so things are well underway and the next item on the agenda is about 6 ears of corn on the cob, so....I hope everyone's having a good weekend and again, thank you for your interest and your support.

This is -- you know, the ride is very much my -- they always say the ride is your reward for all the fundraising work you do, and the fundraising has gone well and I'm really enjoying the ride. It's been a great experience so far, and I'll have another report for you in less than 24 hours when I have biked another 70- or 80-odd miles up to Provincetown at the end of Cape Cod. That's it from here, and hope everyone's doing well, and thanks again. Bye bye.
