We’re back!
It was a
beautiful but cold morning! The first scenery of the morning was over the
water, watching the clouds reach down into the water with the sun reflecting
across the waves. Gorgeous.
We made great
time today even while climbing about 1,500 feet. When we left Escanaba the sun
was shining brightly. We rounded the bay
and headed across the UP on US2, which provided us with a wide shoulder with a
rumble strip.
Our bodies
are feeling that we are on day four. Please continue to pray for muscles, rears
(as strange as that may sound, it is a very important component on a ride like
this), ankles, knees, tendons, shouldres, etc. You get the picture. WE ARE WEAK
BUT HE IS STRONG!!!
Here’s today’s
TOP TEN:
1.
Our 2nd flat of the trip (same bike)
2.
We finally found the ice cream stop and Don held
to his promise to buy for us all. Thanks
Don!
3.
Avoided all the tires and road kill. Today the
number one victim of those ruthless motorized vehicles was SNAKES.
4.
The wind at our back literally felt as though
God was pushing us! Thank you God!
5.
The trees are beautiful and beginning to change.
It just added to the majesty of following the lake. Our God is quite the
artist.
6.
Don decided to take a swim upon arrival at our
cabins tonight.
7.
Beautiful views all day long.
8.
Feeling your prayers!
9.
Great conversations while riding and later
tonight during devotions. These people are impressive.
10.
We have raised over $70,000 between the two centers
(Alpha and Lakeshore)! It takes around $1,000- $1,200 to save a baby and we are
riding 700 miles. As we did that math and found that together we (the team and
every supporter) are saving a life every 11 miles!
So, tomorrow we ride again and every 11 miles we
will be renewed! We pray that you will all be conscious of what is happening
during these eight days too. It is so much more that a ride around the lake. It
is a ride for life!
Photos coming when we have the service to download.
Thanks all and goodnight!
