<title>Pan Mass Challenge, Day 1</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        The first weekend of August I'll be participating in a 192-mile bicycle ride across much of Massachusetts to benefit research at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. This is the route some 4,000 riders and I will follow for the first day's 111-mile leg. (Click <A href="http://tinyurl.com/2u47fu">here</A> more information and to help sponsor my ride.) Each time I've biked the PMC, I wondered whether I could ever manage to follow the same complex route without the benefit of all the volunteers and signs to keep you from getting lost. One time I even tried to keep track of how many turns there were, but I quickly lost count. It's like that old joke about how to get around Massachusetts: keep turning and eventually you'll get there. Seeing the route plotted out also seems to confirm that bit of mathematical wisdom about how the length of the coastline of England approaches infinity the closer you look at it. It <I>appears</I> to be straight, but if you type the start- and end-points "Sturbridge, MA to Buzzards Bay, MA" into Google Maps, you get a route that's 15 miles shorter, even though it appears to diverge much farther from the straight line between those points.

<title>REST STOP #3 (70.3 miles)</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        This is the Dighton/Rehoboth Regional High School, right on the town line, and it's where you have lunch. Peanut butter and banana sandwiches are the best for sodium and potassium replenishment. Stay away from the sports drinks is my advice. Stick to water.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/1211612">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        Okay, enough of that. You still have another 40 miles to go. Regional bears left into Horton. NOTE: When you got out of the rest stop, you were in a different town, but the street name was still the same. This is unprecedented!<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/1211613">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Town of Lakeville</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        At the Lakeville line, Beechwood turns into Mill St. This part of the ride is a little less than fully engaging. Since as a safety measure you are not allowed portable audio gear, you may find yourself singing old songs like &quot;Louie Louie&quot; to yourself and to any unfortunates around you. However, the sight of the famous witches will rouse you from your stupor. They have been doing this since the beginning of time.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/1211626">Map this on Platial</a><br />
