Voice Post: 2008 PMC: Bourne finish line

[ornoth_cycling]

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

Okay ladies and gentleman 110 miles down. We are now at Mass Maritime in Bourne. That last section is always very short; it's only about 8 miles, so it wasn't real bad in terms of pain, but I definitely left everything out on the road as it were, as you're supposed to. This is gonna be a brief one. I got in here at Bourne at 1:46 which is exactly on my time schedule, so my estimates were pretty good. Other than that I'm going to go shower and get in the queue for a massage, so that's gonna be it for this message. I'll probably leave another message this evening in preparation for tomorrow, and of course tomorrow there'll be messages starting as early as six in the morning, when I leave the hotel in Sandwich for Provincetown. The remaining 60-80 odd miles of the ride left to go. But the report from day one at least as far as riding is: everything is cool, very happy. Now I get the next 5 hours to hang around and shower, massage, eat as much as I possibly can before I bike back to the hotel. That's it and I'll see you sometime soon!
