wellesley to bourne: day 1

So we are now in Bourne. We arrived at 2:30 after leaving Wellesley at 7. It was a slow start about 3,000 people heading out of Babson College headed towards a ride to support cancer research. Here are some snippets.


Highlights:
- the amazing support and coordination
- high fives from little kids and hose sprays on the road
- the support of my (Frank's) parents
- great police and volunteer traffic assistance
- arriving in Bourne with beer and burgers
- great riders, so nice
- cancer survivors
- no flat tires

Low lights:
- people who think they are in Le Tour
- pothole roads
- beer tent running out at 6:30
- 4am wake ups

Off to Provincetown tomorrow!
