Tacky Picture of the Day

We rode 80 miles today and encountered a what I can only describe as the Mount Everest of Massachusetts. We were only able to pull 4 mph standing, and at the top we didn't even have enough energy for a hearty high five. On the other side of that hill, we were coasting 43 mph - some kind of steep.

We also had another biker join us for about 10 miles. He was a really "energetic" rider and a nice guy, but he ended up pushing the pace a little too much. Every morning he rides a quick 20 miles at high pace, and he was unsympathetic to the extra 60 miles we were riding. We decided to let him go ahead of us.

By the time we hit 40 miles we were ready for a break. So we went to MacDonald's and had . . . Big Macs, and we are forever renaming them . . . Big Mistakes. We don't recommend downing a double decker during an 80 mile day. That's probably enough information. next.

Finally, here is the tacky picture of the day - we found this sign, and Matt couldn't resist . . .



Tomorrow we're going to visit Floating Hospital in Boston and Kyleigh, the little girl we are riding for - can't wait to see her.
