It is July 19, 2020, PMC weekend is just two weeks away. Normally I would be relaxing today, recovering from my last long ride weekend. This year is different. COVID19 has thrown a wrench into just about everything we know to be normal.
One thing that hasn’t changed is that cancer and other diseases like it have not gone away. This year 6,500 riders, 4,000 volunteers, our support teams, our water-stop venues, our law enforcement support, will not come together on that first weekend of August. The logistics are just too dangerous. But ride we shall, in a “Reimagined” way! We will pursue our rides in many different ways, different days, but not together. Some of us will ride part of the route, in different places, different days, it is up to us to “reimagine” our ride! Our mission of supporting cancer research at the world renowned Dana-Farber Cancer Institute will go on.
I plan to ride my 164 miles over the next 2 weeks leading up to PMC weekend. I will chronicle my journey here on my blog. PMC weekend also will also be celebrated on WBZ-TV see below for schedule.
Thank you for your support! #RideOn #PMC2020
