| Message | Doug, Afer 2 yrs. of hard training, your dream is about to be realized. I have no doubt that you will complete this quest! With Carol as an awesome team captain and a dedicated crew to help you reach your goal, this will be another experience to share with Gabe as he grows up and follows in your footsteps. As you encounter challenges during this trek, reflect on why you are doing this, sit up tall and take a deep breathe of the sights and sounds around you. Remember that chase car is only a short distance off your back wheel. Many of your friends are living vicariously through your pedal strokes and will be glued to your progress, waiting to greet you in Annapolis. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your crew for a safe journey! Ride safe Roomie! Linda |
