Big, hairy, audacious week... After the 75-mile ride with the Quad Cycles folks, rode a dozen miles with former co-worker SMorto, then turned it into a 50-mile ride, culminating with six trips up Arlington's mile-long, 350-foot Park Avenue hill. Rode the Neponset Trail and did a bunch more hills. Rode and rode... 175 miles in one week, the most I've ridden in one week except for last year's PMC week and riding to New Hampshire and back two weeks before that!

To top that off, this week I surpassed 5000 total miles on my bike, which took me 21 months, an average of nearly 250 miles per month.

The only disappointment is that I'm still at about $1770 in fundraising, and need to get to $2000. With luck, that'll happen by the time the ride happens, just six days from now!
