Another Boston Marathon Midnight ride in the book!!
Ptown - PB ride
PB’s location is so perfect that it’s about 25 miles from Ptown on a bike ride with plenty of hills and amazing ocean views, and provides great energy supply for cyclists (aka coffee and delicious French pastry) so we can ride back to Ptown without bonking 🤣 Beaches are literally a few pedals away.
After a bit over 1000 ft ascending you’ll probably feel a bit tired and the fatigue in legs are getting you and boom a great French bakery is right in front of you. What more can you ask for? 😋
I’ve done this route so many times and still want to do it over and over again. Hardly any automobiles on the back roads in Truro and Wellfleet. And plenty of friendly attention on commercial st in Ptown 🤣

Beautiful day for a ride.
Legs feel really good. Training in the winter paid off. Best 1 mins power output at 408 watt. Made a lot of PRs on the route that I’ve done so many times.
Now keep doing that power for 1 hour I’ll be a pro LOL #ICanDream

Barcelona Collserola loop cycling
Really nice mountain route. Some steep climbs. Cloudy so I wasn’t getting torched by the sun.
Stopped by a little restaurant for a coffee in the mountain outskirts of Barcelona.
Somehow they figured out how to pave roads smooth and not have potholes all over the place. Somehow they figured out how to design bike lanes properly in the dense urban area so people on bikes are comfortable. Somehow they figured out how to make roundabouts / rotaries (as referred to by massholes) not so scary…
The biggest pothole I ran into is smaller than my fist and I only saw three of them on this whole 40 miles route.

Though I’ve come back to Boston…… still need to post these photos from Mallorca, Spain!!!
Mallorca is the cycling mecca and it lives up to its fame. The beach right out of the old town Palma…… the world famous hairpin climbs of Coll de Sóller…. And the view of the rustic coastline with quint Spanish villages in between…
I’m so happy I chose to do this on my vacation. Also grateful for the support from my partner that he could entertain himself while I was out cycling and enjoying what I loved to do.

Mt Wachusett on a hot day. Left Bolton around 8am. Made it to the top around 9:40am. And we decided that was not enough climb for the day, so we made the summit loop 3x 🤣 which increased about 900 feet elevation gain for the ride.
Got a flat with 0.3 miles to go at Bolton. I continued riding the flat and changed the tube when I got home. And I tried using CO2 cartridge for the first time! Gotta practice!
Stopped at Nan’s kitchen in Stow for lunch. Got a delicious Salmon bowl!

South shore (Scituate) loop from Dorchester via Milton.
Stopped at Scituate harbor for coffee and a muffin. The coffee shop doesn’t make espresso??? Only drip coffee 🥹
Btw I might have peed in the woods in Wompatuck State Park. The mosquitoes definitely smelt their meat I’d say. 🦟
Overall great ride. Left early in the morning at 7am when there wasn’t too much traffic. It was cloudy and misty, especially near the coast, but it was nice and cool. I’d take that 100% over the 90+ heat wave 😂. The route is relatively flat - 2000 feet ascend over 58 miles. So I did a lot of sprinting - sprint Saturday it is…

104 miles ride from Newburyport MA to Portland ME
Lunch at Ogunquit. A cute little town, maybe 1/5 of size of Provincetown ;)
Stopped at Nubble light house. Old Orchard Beach is like a theme park for heterosexual people, which I think ruins the beautiful coastline and beach. The bathroom there is interesting though.
My first century (imperial) in 2024
My body hurts everywhere 😅
