Part Two of Ken's 2019 Charity Bike Rides- The 2019 Pan Mass Challenge The Full Monty- West Stockbridge to Provincetown: 286 miles of Massachusetts I'm going to express myself in this blog mostly in photos and photo captions, as I'm writing this blog post from the comfort of my backyard in Somerville, having completed my 7th PMC.

Sure, it was getting toasty and certainly humid, but it was still early in the day.  Who are these professional looking riders??
