~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.

Okay, Rich, I'll be looking forward to your successful ride! With blessings.... Arlo
Ride all 300!!!!
Consider this one way I can show my appreciation for the friendship you've shown me over the years. Plus this is the only retirement gift you.re getting from me. Ha HA.
Hi Rich - think on this as you ride: 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. 18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. God bless you, brother, with His Strength, Peace, Joy, and Love, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
I’ve been thinking about you out there today, Rich. 25 years of agony is a beautiful thing.
Skip the luck, you have all the skill & dedication you need for this big 300 miles! Have a safe ride and have fun!! Agony is so lucky to have a dedicated rider like you!
Good start Rich, I’ll be keeping an eye on you. Looks like a Tracking well at about 15 miles an hour.
