Voice Post: 2011 PMC Sun 6am: Barnstable

[ornoth]

The following is a transcription of a phone post that originally appeared in my main journal, here.

Okay, I'm here in Barnstable, 14-15 miles into day two. I met up with Jay at the end of the bike path, after he'd already ridden for an hour. Again, conditions are wet but actually it's not too bad right now. A lot of standing water but no rain. Feeling kinda sweaty inside my plastic rain jacket. I may actually shed that for the time being. Rode with Jay, which lasted all of six miles before he jumped on a paceline and was gone, so that's probably the end of that. Just gonna grab some Gatorade and head out of here, but so far so good. It's not a complete washout right now. In fact I can sorta maybe vaguely see patches of blue, but that can't last. But we'll see, maybe I'll be able to shed the rain jacket after all. We can hope, but I don't have much hope. We'll see. See you at the next stop!
