Next up: Tuscany!
Heading to Italy Friday. We bike across Tuscany for a week riding from winery to winery each day. It’s all about eating, drinking, biking!
The TV Series
Positive & inspirational “Who Says I Can’t” is a new television show I am creating that tells the story of brave and determined men and women as they overcome disabilities and become athletes. The program will feature the “up close and personal” style of Olympic features combined with the heart-warming community elements of “Extreme Makeover” and [...]
PMC 2010
PMC 2010 is in the history books. It was #8 for me and #6 for my wife Carole. We worked hard again this year to train for this event. Getting physically ready for these events is a huge challenge. I have to get my one lung and arms and cardiovascular system in tune for the swim [...]
The PMC sentiment
Incredible sentiment of the PMC ride expressed to Billy Starr by an anonymous writer: The greatest compliment I can make of the PMC is that if you told me I was going to die on Sunday, which I hope of course does not happen, I would be thrilled to have spent my last day on Saturday [...]
NECN Story about Osteosarcoma for the PMC
Really nice story on NECN that will be broadcast live Friday night during the PMC opening ceremonies. This is a piece about three riders (including yours truly) who are survivors of Osteosarcoma. Point is that little has improved for this type of cancer in the last 35 years. We ride as part of a team [...]
Bikers: fatigued? Go to a higher gear
Yep you read that right. A higher gear. So you are riding along and you are starting to fade. When you go to a higher gear your cadence slows down. What happens now is that, if you are two-legged, each leg that is not pushing down is getting rest in those push-down muscles for longer [...]
“All the inspiration he needed”
I got two notes recently from partners at the Goodwin | Procter law firm in Boston. One was from Bill Schnoor who I know from his being in the middle of everything to do with startups in Boston for the last 15 years. His partner is RJ Lyman who is a die-hard (you will see [...]
The Social Stigma of Staring
As happens at least three times a week, I was at the pool the other day and when it’s a weekend day, there are a lot of kids. And on the pool deck I walk around on crutches and the kids stare. I never like it but I have had to get used to it. [...]
You are There: PMC 2009 On One Leg
(warning, very long blog post to make you feel like you were with me every push-pull of the way this 192 miles) Getting ready Getting ready was extra hard this year. We had a wet cold spring and as a result I for one missed a lot of training rides. That is an especially big deal for [...]
Next to last training ride before PMC weekend
Pemiquid light near Damariscotta Maine on July 25. Not quite the halfway point on my 48 mile training ride exactly one week before the 192-mile PMC ride begins. This year has been harder than any I can remember for getting ready for this ride. Cold and rain is why. Very early on we were able [...]
