After she finished the first 111-mile leg of the Pan-Mass Challenge in Bourne, Wareham’s Katie Moulding was far from tired.

“I felt great,” she said. “I was dancing at the finish line.”

Afterwards, she got a ride back to her home with her husband Chris, where neighbors, friends and family had spent the day encouraging riders with cheers, high fives and by ringing cowbells.

Cyclists on the 192-mile, two-day route raise millions of dollars each year for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The ride starts in Sturbridge and ends in Provincetown. The route goes down Main Street where the Moulding’s set up shop at the corner of Lincoln Hill Terrace.

Every rider that passed received an enthusiastic greeting.

“I’ve been giving out high fives all day!” said Chris.

“It is such a great feeling,” added Katie. “The whole ride we received so much support and now we’re supporting them back.”

This was Katie’s second year participating, but her first year opting for the two-day ride. Last year, she cycled a shorter, one-day route. Katie said she rides for Chris, who is a cancer survivor.

While all the funds raised are donated to Dana-Farber, Chris noted that all of the money his wife raised is specifically earmarked for research on pancreatic and colon cancer.

The Mouldings' mini-party was less than a mile from PMC’s Decas Elementary School water stop.

There, weary riders had a chance to cool off under misting sprays and fuel up with food and water. A repair station and medical tent were also set up.

Stopping for a break were some members from team Pedal 2 the Mettle who traveled from California and Florida to participate.

“We come a long way because we love the area,” said Gil Falcone, of Santa Rosa, California.

With 19 members on the team, Falcone said Pedal 2 the Mettle raised more than $100,000 for cancer research this year. He said all rode for friends and loved ones who either survived cancer, still have it or passed away from the disease.

“I’m riding for all the names written on the ribbons tied to my helmet,” said Chris Falcone, Gil’s wife. “There are 73. That’s far too many.”

Assisting riders at Decas were many volunteers, including members of the Manchester family of Windham, New Hampshire.

Nancy Manchester and her daughters Katie, Olivia and Sophie cheered on riders entering the school parking lot after a long day of volunteering.

“They’ve been busy all day, delivering snacks, assisting riders – they’ve done it all,” said Nancy.

Usually, Nancy’s husband participates in the ride and started 12 years ago when his father-in-law was diagnosed with lymphoma, but took a break this year. She said with many friends riding for the Bruins Foundation it only made sense to continue the tradition.

PMC cyclists ended their journey on Sunday in Provincetown after raising approximately $46 million.
