Voice Past: 2014 PMC Day 2: Brewster

[ornoth_cycling]

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

Okay, we’re in Brewster, where the PA for the music is really loud; I’m sorry about that, if you can hear it. Otherwise things are okay. Route 6A wasn’t too too bad. It was very crowded with cyclists; not as many cars, probably because it’s a rainy weekend where the temperature is only 58 degrees in the middle of August, which is pretty ridiculous. The rain seems to have stopped for the time being. It had started a little bit when I left the last stop in Barnstable. But right now it’s just misty, heavy overcast. The roads are off and on wet and dry, but it seems to be drier than it’s been for most of the rest of the weekend aside for Friday; Friday was nice. That’s it from here; got one more stop after this, in Wellfleet. But gonna try and get a little space between me and the madding crowds here. Although they help me; being in the peloton raises my average speed; right now my average speed for today is 18.1 MPH, which is higher than normal. Enough of this I’m gonna move on and do the next thing. The next segment is another 18 miles, so it’s a little bit longer. It also involves the bike path, Ocean View Drive, and the swooping roads of Wellfleet. So a few hills, but not like the last segment in Truro. But anyways: I’m off!
