( Saturday morning was a lot like Friday night, but somewhat lighter. It was still cold and wet at 5am, though. )

Check-in for the walk started at 2, which is when we left the house. I'd hoped to leave an hour before that, but it didn't work that way.

I'd wanted to go check-in at the walk first, but darkwolfie wanted to go to the hotel to drop our gear, which meant going through the tunnel. That turned out not to be the best idea ever, as we got stuck in the tunnel ( Read more... )

I'm going to write an entry about the Avon Breast Cancer Walk tomorrow, but right now, the short form for Sunday is this:

1) 43 miles, Lawrence to Canton, 80mph, 6am.

2) Endless loops up and down Rte 138, herding cats walkers so they'd stay in the breakdown lane, because traffic hurts ( Read more... )

So far, the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer has been AMAZING. I'm exhausted, and have crossed more biker milestones in 48 hours than I thought possible, and I have another day tomorrow. For now, know that it was spectacular, and I'll post a real report tomorrow. Maybe Monday...

Several of the things we're planning to do this summer will require some motorcycle travel on the superslab*, and as I'd not been up on the highway yet, and the first of these events is looming nigh**, darkwolfie and I decided that I needed to start practicing for that. (We actually wanted to do it over the weekend, but the weather ( Read more... )

darkwolfie and I went to an info meeting last night to learn about being crew for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. Good thing we did, too, as we wanted to work motorcycle crew, and the crew coordinator told us that moto fills up fast. She also said that they have an absolute blast, which is good to hear ( Read more... )

I just signed darkwolfie and I up to volunteer as road crew for the Boston Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, in May. (Yes, he knows about it.) They use motorcyclists as safety crew: "Works with Road Dispatch Staff and local law enforcement to guarantee safe passage for Walkers during each day's route. Assist at difficult intersections and other locations as ( Read more... )
