2004 Pan-Mass Challenge

Sorry this is a bit late, but I was hoping to get my travelogue written before making a post-ride report. Well, the travelogue is still pending, but here's how this year's ride went...

The 2004 ride is complete, and there was no repeat of last year's unfortunate crash. The full report will be forthcoming, but excellent weather, tons of support, and a great performance made this year's ride the best of my four.

Thanks to all my sponsors, and especially Liam Donahue, I should have no problem reaching the fundraising minimum this year. And special thanks also go to my friend pookfreak, who came all the way from Austin to provide transportation and support for the fourth year in a row. Thank you all for your support!

As for my big goals of 10,000 miles and $10,000... Well, I guess in both cases I aimed too low by 2,000! I passed 10,000 miles back in June, and expect to end my cycling year in October with a four-year total of more than 12,000 miles. Similarly, if everything works out correctly between now and then, I'll also complete this year with a four-year fundraising total for the Jimmy Fund of $12,000!

Thank you all for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the fight against cancer, and for the gift of being able to ride in the 25th anniversary edition of this great event.
