The pic is of me at Brandt Rock in Marshfield, 60 miles into a 105-mile training ride.  If you think I look weary here, you should have seen me at 105 miles.  Definitely DID NOT have another 20 miles in me today.  Have more work to do.

The pic is of me at Brandt Rock in Marshfield, 60 miles into a 105-mile training ride.  If you think I look weary here, you should have seen me at 105 miles.  Definitely DID NOT have another 20 miles in me today.  Have more work to do.

As I look at this pic, though, I am reminded of how weary and yet how resilient are the countless people living with HIV/AIDS, as well as their family members and advocates, and those continuing critical research.  If my pushing through my fears and weariness gives a few of them even a bit of encouragement, it is all well worth it.

Have you made a donation to this effort yet?  Your support will be at least as encouraging as my feeble efforts.  And you will have the added bonus of encouraging this rider to push through his weariness.

Good news is, no permanent damage.  But I need to keep pushing–next weekend, a 100-mile ride (my “H2B century,” covering the 9/14 ride route to Plymouth, then back to Boston along the coast).

What keeps pushing me?  Ego, of course.  I have to do this again.  And knowing the causes I am supporting are providing desparate services, advocacy, and research.  And of course, the wind beneath my wings are the family and friends who support my ride.  (Does that include you yet?)
