~Plan the Ride...Ride the Plan.
~Right leg up..and Left leg down...and the wheels go 'round.
~Kickstands need not apply.
~Roads?...we don't need roads. (...wait, yes we do, this is a road ride.)
~Flailing down the side of a mountain at break-neck speeds over ruts, rocks, and roots on a 2-wheeled projectile can be hazardous to your health,... that's why I ride a road bike (one day in July)
~It takes 109,452 credit cards melted down and poured into a bicycle frame mold to produce a bike that likely exceeds your credit card limit...twice over.
~Bicycles are our friends,..but only a tandem can pick you up at the airport.
~Do you know the best thing about bicycles?.....they're not cars.
~ Do you know the difference between a bicycle and a motorcycle?....less bugs in your teeth on a bike.
~What did one spoke say to the other?... want to meet at the hub after the ride?
~My grandmother started riding a bike at the age of 77...she's now 81 and we don't know where the heck she is!
~My grandfather started riding his bike two weeks ago to look for grandma,... he just made it to the end of the driveway last night.
~Interesting factoid: What is the MOST common/frequent injury in the Tour D'France?...spectators getting broken toes by the support vehicles running over them as they follow the riders...the fans just won't get out of the way!

GREAT JOB!!!! How amazing to beat your fundraising goal!! May God bless your efforts in ways we can't even imagine and may you rest well tonight! :) Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory.

This isn’t just a ride… it’s a Tour de Faith! 24 hours on a bike? That’s not fundraising—that’s glory-fied glute training! 🚴♂️💥 You’re proof that miracles happen… especially if your butt still works tomorrow. Keep pedaling, saint on wheels!
Time to hop on a wheel, Rich. Not sure which checkpoint you’re at but 300 is in reach. You are an animal.
Congrats on your first 100 miles in eight hours. You are right on track for 300. Stay out of the lounge chairs.
Wishing you a safe ride with plenty of miles. Thankful to have you as a friend and riding buddy.
