Voice Post: 2007 PMC: Dighton/Rehoboth

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

Ok, we are at the Dighton/Rehoboth lunch stop at 70 miles. And Charlie and I have been riding together. It is 91 degrees out, hazy, very hot and humid, very bright sun. And doing ok, still, you know, a little knees, a little ankle, but in general, the ride's going well. Averaging about 16 miles an hour right now, which is a pretty healthy average. Just generally happy with the ride. Taking it a little bit easy and enjoying it and trying to stay hydrated. That's all for now; we'll be talking to you again in another hour or so at the next stop. But so far so good. And definitely keeping in mind Ken and Christine, who I'm riding for, and all the other people who have told me their stories and shared them with me. Appreciate everything that everyone has done to make this ride possible for me. And hope those of you who are actually listening in are enjoying the little updates, although they are not very exciting, vut we'll keep 'em coming. And hopefully in another couple hours, I'll be able to talk to you from Mass Maritime Academy in Bourne at the 110 mile finish (for today of course, with another 70- or 80-odd miles tomorrow). That's it for now. I'll talk to you soon.
