Day 1 is done! What an amazing day and what an amazing event to be a part of. There was a lot of excitement and anxiousness in the crew as we got ready to this morning, despite the cold, foggy, and rainy weather. We took off from our hotel to our kick-off event at the local Cambridge Whole Foods where we had some needed coffee and bagels to begin the day.
The Pablove Foundation renewed their research that was funded last year to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. If you haven't donated already, and would like to see a $50K check made out to OMS research next year, please take a moment to make a quick donation: http://stayclassy.org/naveen.
We are professionally (literally) supported by a SRAM crew, fully stocked with a support van and wagon -- super nice.
Here's one of the quick breaks we took to de-layer after the rain setup (can you tell which one is me?).
And finally at the end of the day, here's my treat that I found in my bag from my girls back home!
And here was the ride report from the day -- 75 miles to get things started -- not too bad.
Tomorrow - we ride 95: Providence RI to to Hartford CT.
Thanks for everyone's words of encouragement, support, and donations.
