It's all about family!

So, our journey is almost upon us! Below is some finalized information about our trip.

We will begin our journey on June 13th when Nick and I drive to Colorado with our bikes and gear. We decided to start from Colorado so that we can be with family to kick off our ride.

I've spoke with my nephew Travis and we are working on a special plan to kick off our ride with Bob's family and my other brother Bill and his family to join us for the first several miles of our ride beginning in the beautiful mountain community of Breckenridge, Co.

From there, Nick and I will continue on our journey...with the strength and love of our family to inspire us.

Colorado Here we Come!

We are soooooo excited!!!

After a lot of thought and conversations with friends and family we have decided to begin our ride in the state of Colorado.

We couldn't think of a better way to begin our ride than in Bob's home state surrounded by family.

Can't wait to see everyone!

Great People!

Nick and I had the pleasure of riding in the "Ride of Silence" last week.  Below is a photo from in front of the Boise State Capital plus a beautiful poem from the "Ride of Silence" website.

The Ride of Silence...

Tonight we number many but ride as one
In honor of those not with us, friends, mothers, fathers, sisters, sons
With helmets on tight and heads down low,
We ride in silence, cautious and slow
The wheels start spinning in the lead pack
But tonight we ride and no one attacks
The dark sunglasses cover our tears
Remembering those we held so dear
Tonight's ride is to make others aware
The road is there for all to share
To those not with us or by our side,
May God be your partner on your final ride

How it's "growing"

Only a few short weeks :)

Here is a look at how the beard is going....I mean growing :)

Ride of Silence

As our ride gets closer we are taking a break from long rides and are making a shorter one this evening.

We will be participating in the annual "Ride of Silence".

Cyclists worldwide ride in a silent slow-paced ride in honor of those who have been injured or killed while cycling on public roadways.

WHY DOES THIS ORGANIZATION EXIST?

• To HONOR those who have been injured or killed
• To RAISE AWARENESS that we are here
• To ask that we all SHARE THE ROAD
