Does the idea of actually registering and completing the PanMass Challenge seem impossible? It’s not. In fact, they have several different ride options. From entry level (a one day 25 mile loop) to expert (two days, 192 miles), there are rides here for everyone. Regardless of which one you choose, you’ll be able to give yourself a gentle pat on your (most likely sore) back for being part of such an amazing fundraiser to help end cancer. There’s no other single event in the country that raises more money. To increase the fun and motivation factor, get a group of friends and do this ride together, maybe even in honor of a mutual friend. Pick a race length that is manageable for everyone and plan a celebratory dinner for the evening after the race, you’ve earned it.

When: August 4th and 5th, 2012

Where: Various locations from Sturbridge to Provincetown, there’s something for everyone.
