didn't even have capable road bikes, some were former racers, lots of different skill levels, shapes, and sized, but all with one thing in common and that is coming together for the Challenged Athletes Foundation to serve others.The other thing common thing out there today were big smiles and camaraderie amongst everyone. It was the last long ride of the training program in preparation for the ride down the coast now less than 2 weeks away.
The Garmin said 4,977 feet of climbing and the group today encountered 7 flat tires during the ride, but even so there were few complaints and lots of support for one another.
As always, the Ride Leaders were awesome today, keeping things together and picking people up with conversation and humor when folks were having a tough time.... these people are special!Its been a whirlwind of over 4 months of preparation and building of relationships with an amazing group of people. A special thanks here to the QMDC Co-Chairs Dean and Scott, Event Director - Kristine, and Special Events Manager - Vikki, for all that you do behind the scenes.
It may seem redundant, but I can't say it enough how amazing this experience has been and WE HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED THE RIDE!!!!
Two weeks away and two days away from the Winner being announced in the Scott & BR Cycling Team Contest.... Will it be me??? Will it be Joy??? Will it be Adam??? Tune in Wednesday at 6:45am on XX1090 AM and find out.
