Probably easier than lining up ducks. School is starting. The exercise regime needs to switch. No more 1.5 hour bike rides in the morning. Have taken a couple of hour walks instead. Out early. Home to see the school bus is met.

When do you stop riding?
PMC2016 in the rear view, when do you stop riding? Went out Sunday at 7 AM with fellow Kermit for a quick 40. Had to get home for family. This morning was out at 5:30 to ride before work... An hour and a half ride squeezed in... In the last leg wondered about the early mornings, and the push to ride. When will the training be over?
Answer: When I cannot pedal. Gratitude for good health.
Gratitude for two great bikes that roll like dreams.
Gratitude for cool morning rides instead of hot and humid afternoons.
Gratitude for fellow Kermits with whom to ride.

The Ride Is Over But The Cause Continues
As fellow Team Kermit member, Alan Cantor, stated, the ride is over but the cause continues. Our pedal partner Declan is living proof the Pan Mass Challenge is key to winning the war on childhood cancer. Seeing him and reading the signs along the route which said, "Thank you I had cancer when I was (younger) and this August I'll be going to college" truly put power in my pedal stroke. I can't help but ride again.
A PMC advertisement showing a bike seat with the text "We are sitting on the cure" could not be more true.
The goal is to raise 46 million dollars by October 1.
The ride is over. But the cause continues.

It's 5 AM
Do you know where you staged your bike? I was in the front row at 4 AM. But others staged ahead of the line. They had to; there being 4500 bikes at the start. This is serious.

Am I Strong?
Enough? Yes strong enough. PMC2016 in 5 days. Gather Friday. Start riding Saturday. If I'm not ready now I never will be. Logistics and packing are all that remain. And the ride. Breathe. And pray.
It's not easy being green.
