Kansas
Kansas and Nebraska oh my….
Toto- we’re not in Kansas anymore….
So here are a few entries all in one. Sorry for the delay. It has been a couple days of long drives and we are coming up on some tougher rides. We have traversed Kansas, Nebraska and now we’re in Wyoming. It is awesome.
We are making great progress and we are headed further West every day. One day at a time.
Kansas was awesome! Thank you Holiday Inn (and Charlotte for setting it up) and Laura Farmer- the ride was awesome! Even after Jim getting up clse and personal with a horse trailer and me having 5 flat tires in one ride- we still had a blast. It was one of the best rides yet. I will add that despite what everyone says….Kansas is NOT flat. More details to come. (hopefully when I get Wifi soon)
Nebraska was awesome! We stayed with a friend from grad school- Jess- The Nebraska ride was awesome! The rollers were awesome and the prairie views and corn fields were tranquil. We even saw some some wildlife and beaches. It was definatel good around mile 80 to have someone to ride with- it felt like 3700 miles in my legs. My heart felt like 10 miles. I felt inspired from all the great people I have met along the way. It has been great to get this far and as we move forward. Things get busy.
There will be more pictures to come and more info to come. The next couple days are busy.
I am heading into my hometown of Steamboat Springs tonight and today is the celebration of life day. I lost my mom on this day 5 years ago to an awful disease that we all need to fight against. As I move forward in these next couple days it will be great to see friends, and training partners, but most importantly to think about why I am riding… for my mom and my family, and my friends, and for you… I am riding for your life… I am riding for those affected by cancer.
Let’s all work together to do what we can to take care of our health to prevent the onset of disease. Do somehting new… So- do something this week for your health- do something that you haven’t done before.
Get out this week, make it active and have some fun. !!
BIG smiles to you and yours.
Sincerely,
Gary G
bring on ride 38.
