        I'm guessing his ass is in worse shape than his legs.

        So just another typical monday morning for Jon....

        I was only joking

              After day one my neck was killing me, and I thought it might be my downfall day 2. But day two towards the end my legs were about spent and I wasn't noticing my neck, it didn't help that half the elevation gain was in the last 10 miles.

              Oh - Day 1 started at 49F with an 18mph headwind, gusts of up to 30.

                              That is awesome Jon!! A headwind like that can be brutally draining. You guys look like you had it with no problem! I think they like to put those uphills on the tailends on purpose lol. The Elephant Rock ride in Colorado always had a brutal hill right in the last mile.

                                    I assume that is associated with the Falmouth Road Race. That used to be a great party, it has been a while since I have attended.

                                    You circled the base that is holding the Martha's Vineyard mistreated political Venezuelan pawn heroes. Any sign of them?

                                    My father is buried on that base.

                                      Pretty sure it’s different. This is actually organized by the American Lung Association but they let us enter as a team and fundraise independently. It’s been going on for 26 years. Before covid it was Plymouth to P-town over three days. Now it’s a two day ride with the same start and finish.

                                      Wow. How did that come to pass?

                                          I don’t know, I actually had to Google that acronym.

                                          I just walked 4mi and around mile 2.5 I could really feel my leg muscles.

                                          Tomorrow I’ll get back on the bike and see how that feels.
