So Marc asked me if I'd be kind enough to take care of uploading his pics from Day 1 of this year's Pan Mass Challenge, and given the noble cause, I was happy to do so.

I know they'll be lots of commentary from him tommorrow after the ride is done!

What ungodly time did you start, and who were you drafting?

I actually came into this thread to mention that I hoped you got poured on as much as I did. Lucky bastard and your nice weather.

5:10 am. Very ungodly time. Revele was 4:15. Worst moment of the entire weekend, every year.

Some quick n dirty stats: Saturday: 110.75 miles; 18.8 mph; elevation gain: 4200 ft

Sunday: 79.88 miles; 18.2 mph; elevation gain: not sure yet

I have more pics from the ferry ride back, I'm gonna upload shortly here... thanks again to everyone!

Lol, if it was a non alcoholic ferry ride, no one told the people staffing the two bars on the top deck.

Well, he did just get back from Provincetown, so I'm guessing not so great.

Last year someone printed up bumper stickers that people were wearing on their shorts that read "My ass was sore in P-town, PMC 2008"... no it wasn't me, but I thought it was damn funny. P-town is one interesting place.
