Paul, down hill or not, 120+ miles on a hot August day is gonna take a bunch out of ya. You're looking at ~8 hrs of saddle time. That's a LONG day. Really, though, not as long as the next day when all of the chamios butter on the planet couldn't take away the discomfort of getting back in the saddle after a 120 mile hilly ride on a hot August day. It would be difficult to ride Jenna Jamison let alone your own bicycle.
Can you split that leg in two? Either way, I hope you guys have fun.

You just want to be around so you can volunteer to apply the bag balm and chammy butter to the sore spots.

Ten miles of interval training this evening. Ten minutes warm up, 5 minutes pretty hard, then 5 sets of alternating 3 minutes as hard as I could go alternating wit 2 minutes of easy spinning, then 10 minutes of cool off. I was sweating pickles. Hit a max heart rate of 165 and a max cadence if 150
Now it's off to the ICU.
I work there. Don't be fresh

You're right. Very cool! Thanks Cape Brewing! $2/mile is a VERY generous pledge. Of course, when you think about it, it's only a buck a boob per mile. And you sure wouldn't want to cheap out and only go a buck a mile. The whole idea is to keep the boobies in pairs.

Thursday was a 3+ mile walk (with Dad for his recovery) then later around an 8 mile ride. Friday was somewhere between a 16-20 mile ride. I don't have any fancy computers on my bike, and don't see them in the near future, but got my headlights set back up for nightriding. The next bike related thing will be replacing the clipless pedal setup that went away. Halfway through my Friday ride I finally put air in the tires and went from about 10# of pressure back up to 60#... Massive improvement!! No ride Saturday and questionable weather for the next few days, but then again, as sweet as I am, I'm not made of sugar, right?
Bird, you have time to get in the proper shape. I mean I understand you aren't round like me (which as we all know is the strongest shape), but there is still hope for you. Like Janis says... "you have to tryyyyyy, just a little bit harder!"

Paul, I'd like to see your route plan. I am also thinking that western mass should be 2 days with all the vert. I was also wondering how many people we are looking at, as I may have a place in beverly where we can stay and may try to set up some sort of dinner.

I guess I'm a slow, yeast-coddled, fermenterizer....
I will NOT be able to do the whole ride, but I'll try to do the Sharon-Marion trip with you!
(Since it's only a small portion of the whole trip, should I look into nipple fundraising?)
... Research the NERTS! ....
