Your chance to make a difference - donate to Marc's 2008 Pan Mass Challenge

[Trekchick]

Looks like it is all there to me and knowing how meticulous Marc seems to be with things it would be safe to say he did everything right the first time.

This little challenge is going to cost me!
Double, or triple my donation, plus dinner at Abasin for the bvibert(s) and the o3jeff(s).


Marc, enjoy the ride!
Hope this made the project a bit of fun for you.
All for a great cause, and some fun with friends, eh?

Looks complete to me, but damn, that rear derailer cable is freakin long!

Doesn't look too stick friendly to me..

 

[dmc]

what... no rockring?

 

[drjeff]

1 other thing, where's the p'town approved front basket???

Great job! Not just with the bike, but the entire ride!

I noticed the cable, too, but thought I'd be nice.

It`s like that because the cable boss on the seat stay is very low and close to the derailleur. If it was shorter the loop would be too tight.

I dunno,

Looks like a twig catcher to me

Alright all, I'm signing off for the night. I'll be waking up at 4:30 tomorrow to start in Sturbridge.

Thank you all for your support, and don't forget, donations are good until September!

Ooooof, sorry, forgot to up my ante yesterday. Did it, as promised when I got in from my bike ride and movie in the wee hrs of the morning.
Thanks for making it fun to donate. Go get 'em!

* Don't forget pics of you with the SkiDiva Sticker!!

nah..Marc seems to dissapear sometimes..he's not a crazy OCD internet head like you and me..

 

[Marc]

Hey, give a guy a break, I didn't get in until 9 last night... we were sitting in traffic on the bus back from Boston at the 84/Mass Pike interchange for like 45 min.

I'll get up a detailed report later tonight. For now, here are two pics from the event. I tried to get one of me wearing my jersey in Ptown, but my camera/phone didn't have enough battery left to take a picture. If I wasn't riding all by my lonesome, maybe someone else could have taken a picture, but oh well.

The second one is the jersey I wore on the second day from Borne to Ptown. That's taken on a desk in the dorm at MMA if you're wondering.

 

[bvibert]

Well I guess you survived at least. Nice jersey. I'll be looking forward to a detailed report.
