GMG 2004 - Day 1
The GMG is a 150 mile charity ride from Quincy to Provincetown Mass. to benefit Multiple Sclerosis. On June 26 and 27 myself and 1,000 other riders, having raised $1.1M in donations hit the road. Here are some photos from that ride, many taken from the saddle ...
Mike is sooo ready for the ride ...
Of course what do you have to do before a ride?
The Potty Peleton! Isn't that Lance up front?
The teams assemble in our corrals, those who raised the most $$$ go first ...
In the chute ...
The team gets its game face on ...
Then we're on the road (at about 20 mi.) looking backward, me and my thumb on the lens (you'll see a lot of 'ol Thumby)
Through the burbs
Pulled by our trusty steed ...
Through the mist along the cost ...
and rest stops
Lunch Time!
Sometimes your dragged into being a volunteer...
We finially make it to the Sagamore Bridge along the Cape Cod Canal
A short 5 miles and we're at the Mass Maritime Academy where I am personally greeted by a beautiful Ms. C.
(I think my Cannondale is jealous...)
But wait, the team is streaming in triumphant! Amy with her fist in the air.
John 'dogging it!
... to the dorms for a much needed shower!
Relaxing outside of the tent ...
Did you see the size of that possum Tim hit?
You thought your beer tent was big, ours needs a freighter to bring it in! (The ship is the Mass Maritimes training vessel and floating classroom)
Mike is ecstatic after riding his new bike all day ...
Have I had too many beers or are we getting blury ...
And the evening ended listening to music under the big tent ...
Tomorrow starts at 3:45AM, its time to go to .... zzzzzz
