Hello everyone,
We have been on the roads of Mexico for the past two days. I wish I could say that its been an easy two days, but as it stands we are about 30 miles bihind schedule. it appears the entire road will be climbing mostly. Yesterday I was able to ride for 99 miles despite the worst head wind i have been up against on this trip. I was moving at about 12 miles an hour so it took me a while to finish.
Today was not windy but it was up hill most of the way. I am happy to say that most of the people in their cars going bywave at me and give me the thumbs up. One guy even gave me a high five! Today after lunch at 2;pm i decided that I would only go for one more hour. (my legs are very tired and my knees are still bothering me. So I thought it would be wise to sto pa little earlier and then rest. Just as i was about to stop I came to the foot of a mountain. I went up that tmountain and 1:14 mintes and 7 miles later I was at the top. I was tired winded, and even a little out of balance. I think the altitude finally got to me. In order to get to our ddestiny on oct 25th at 5:pm I am supposed to do 4 days of about 97 miles and one of about 120 miles. I am not as confident about being able to finish this in the time I need to...
I am tired, my body is...it hurts. I know I can finish, I know I have it in me to do it..but my body may not want to. I just hope that my mind and my heart come to the rescue very soon. So I am going to bed with a heavy heart and a tired body. I just hope that tomorrow is a good one for me.

ReplyDelete"May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand." This is a traditional Irish blessing, but it seems to fit! May God be with you!

Que tal compadre veo que vas un poco cansado, ahora entiendo porque no respondiste a mi llamada, oye y te das cuenta como se pasa el tiempo bueno tal ves para mi sea facil decirlo pero ya hace mas de 2 semanas que partiste y para cuando leas esto tal ves te queden solo 4 dias para llegar a tu destino. Sabes el otro dia estabamos platicando con edtzon y decia el (claro estabamos en soba dandole al jale ya saves como trabaja tu hermano)decia el, viendolo bien creo que preferiria hacer lo que el compadre pues el solo tiene que pedalear su bici por unas horas diarias no que nosotros aqui en soba cargando cortando y clavando y yo estaba de acuerdo con el.Pero creo que mejor no, mejor le sigo al jale porque lo que tu estas haciendo no creo que sea tan facil porque ademas de una gran condicion fisica y mental se requiere de un corazon muy grande como lo han tenido JESUS,la MADRE TERESA, SANFRANCISCO DE ASIS, solo por nombrar algunos y tengo la certesa de que lograras tu cometido porque DIOS esta de tu lado el siempre esta del lado de los que se preocupan por los demas.Ps cuidate y recuerda que te esperamos atu regreso con mucho amor y orgullosos de ti.
ReplyDeletewhat an accomplishment!!! I am so proud of you and what you are doing for your people and home town... It is an honor to be a small part of something I feel is so worthwhile. May God bless your efforts.... Keep the faith....
