Voice Post: 2009 PMC Sun Sandwich departure

[ornoth_cycling]

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

Well good morning. It's 6:18 in the morning and I'm leaving Sandwich, which is a pretty typical cape town with a bunch of little hills and ponds and kind of pine and oak woods around, sandy and marshy. Also a place where the Pilgrims spent some time on their way over toward Plymouth, with a quaint village circle.

And the only real noteworthy thing about Sandwich is that we follow the Route 6 Service Road, which is very up-and-down hilly. A lot of rollers that you can actually shoot pretty well, so we'll see how that goes.

Interested to see how the bike's doing this morning; I should be fine, although obviously a little tired. But the weather's beautiful.

And I'm gonna go catch up with the rest of the riders. And I should talk to you again in an hour.
