Spring has finally arrived though everything seems to be a month behind! I finally have gotten my bike out on the road, keeping a watchful eye on those potholes and winter sand on the sides of the street. Good bye winter, looking forward to seeing the street sweeper!
On April 14th my PMC team, The Patriot Platelet Pedalers gathered for our first team ride, 26.2 miles, our memorial ride for the 2013 Boston Marathon. About 70 PPPer’s met at Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots. We are part of the Kraft Charitable Foundation and we are riding to fight cancer!
We also had the pleasure of being joined by out PMC Pedal Partners, PJ and Jovi who with our team in tow took a ceremonial ride around the lot to warm us up before we hit the road. 53 degrees, still a little chilly, but the sun was shining as we set out moving across beautiful back roads winding through Foxborough, Sharon, Mansfield and North Attleboro. 
Back to the stadium at noon as the clouds rolled in and lunch with my teammates. Sore legs, but high spirits, we are blessed and excited to be part of this upcoming “challenge”. Training has begun!!!
Each year we raise money, ride and support the research and treatment going on at The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. We believe we are making a difference by riding. Together with our supporters we can beat this disease!

Thank you…dawn!
