Best Buddies Ride

On June 4 I rode 100 miles, from the Kennedy Library to the Kennedy compound in Hyannis, to raise money for the Best Buddies organization. It was a fantastic ride, incredibly well organized, and I acheived the perfect sugar/caffeine balance. This let me go reasonably fast all day and gave me this wild burst of energy about fifteen miles from the finish line, so I was shouting and cheering and attacking the hills. The ride raised over 4 million dollars (!!), and I shook Tom Brady's hand. He's quite tall. 240 miles down, 760 to go.
