Thursday May 13th, 2010 was a terribly sad day. Erin McDermott and I decided to bike up South Mountain that day, and we never looked back. Behind us stood our pubescent sillouettes drifting into oblivion like a orphaned balloon, lifting higher and higher with every hill we tortuised up...on our granny gears. However, the word hill does not give justice to the ridiculousness of what we conquered that day, these beasts had an incline of over 90 degrees to the ground and I feared tipping over…

As the trip crawls nearer and nearer to becoming a reality, I become evermore aware of my overall naivete about this whole thing. Che Guevara's(Sorry no cool quotes from Jesu, MLK, or..... Levitucus lol) words come to mind, "The enormity of our endeavor escaped us in those moments; all we could see was the dust on the road ahead and ourselves on the bike, devouring kilometers in our flight northward."

Hi! My name is Demetrius-Gunnar Christopher Burns and I am currently a nine-teen year old college student/brother/ice-cream extrodinare trying to follow Jesus the best I can, and hoping in the process to plant His kingdom seeds here on earth. My collission with Ride:Well is simply an extension of this passion, as it is an outlet to carry my cross...or road bike in an effort to know him more fully and demonstrate his Kingdom, in life and light, to my African brothers and sisters. I am stoked…
