I went to Phoenix this weekend to visit some ride:well 09 friends and was able to go and have dinner with one of the families that hosted us while we were in Chandler last summer. It was wonderful to reconnect with them and see their continued excitement for what we are doing! They are already ready to host us again this summer! :) The family that had us for dinner are such amazing people who are outrageously hospitable. I continue to be overwhelmed by how giving the people were we met last summ… Continue

A couple days ago...i don't remember the town or the date (concussion), on HWY 11, I hit a dog. Favor - this dog will "never" run out in front of a cyclist again...no need to thank me. (I don't know what happened to the dog)...
I don't remember anything from seeing the dog to being in the moving ambulance with Criselda going to the emergency room...It's weird not remebering an hour of your life. I was told I kept asking what happened and if my bike was o.k. :)

I experienced something amazing today... today, wrecked me. We went to an inner city mission in Longview, TX today for lunch.

I sat by Greg at lunch and he, 1st made sure I knew who Jesus was, second talked about… Continue

I talked about how we each have something unique that only we can offer to one another/ the churches/ random people we meet/ Africa. Sometimes it’s hard to listen to your own advice…

A week or so into the tour my right knee started hurting. Then on our ride out of Anza Borrego it reached the point where I co… Continue

We made it into San Diego today - 66 miles. It's the longest ride I have ever done and am feeling well...a bit tired :) but well. Funny story though: I was going up the last LARGE hill of the day and was going rather slow...so slow in fact that i just fell over :) It was hilarious! I wish you all could have seen it.

Regarding Long Beach: I was so impressed and blessed by the hospitality of the church. They are amazing people and I couldn't have asked for a better place to start the ride. They g… Continue
