Riding Day 36 – 76.25 miles The day began as all our other campground mornings have begun on this journey: coffee first, followed by two packages of Quaker Instant Oatmeal. I’ve grown a bit weary of most of the things we’ve been eating out on the road, but I still love my oatmeal in the mornings!
We are so glad we are neighbors of Bob and Susie here in Az and had the privilege of meeting you guys and we anxiously look for the post each day. We know God has blessed you guys with a great attitude and sharp minds and desire to do something out of the ordinary. However, it’s not that you were given all the above but each of you have used those God given gifts to touch others in a very unique and positive way. Wish all of us who have been on this journey with you via social media could be standing at the sign that says Welcome to St Augustine when you 3 come riding through. Please know we are there but not in person.
I am so happy for all of you! What an adventure you 3 have embarked on. So close to the end, I can’t imagine the emotions you are all going through, but I know your families are about to let loose with a humongous sigh of relief and joy. Stay safe.
Scott this is Loretta Kelch we have followed your whole journey this is awesome we were hoping to meet you here in St. Augustine but do leave tomorrow am so sorry to miss you guys wanted to have a cold one with you
What a journey and almost ready to finalize your goal. I am so impressed by you and your team. The fortitude you all have had is amazing ! You guys are rock stars.
Our thoughts and prayers have been with you all the way. May the power be with you and the grace of God protect on your final legs of the journey.
Thanks CJ! I’m not a great sleeper, so when the guys go to sleep, I sit outside and just write what the night gleans from the day just finished…take care😉🚴🏾♂️
Dude I can feel your exhaustion seeping through your words but I also know that there is strength within you guys that will help you see it through to the end. I spent the day with 12 Marines at the garden moving a mountain of compost (yes they got it done and painting a 10 x 14 shed (almost finished). You wonder where has all of that youthful vigor gone and at the end of the day you are sore but you smile because at least you were able to keep up at almost 3 times their age. The look at us and say “I want to be like you, when I get old”. But I respond no you want to be better. Onward to the ocean my friends!
I'm sending extra oooomph and energy to you guys. Scott, as I've been following you, I've wondered every day how on earth you've had the energy to write, after such grueling pedaling. Thank you for mustering it up, and taking us along with you.
🤗 I can't believe we're (we ... we all really have been with you... except for sore butts, bee stings, drenching rain and wind, and the threat of creepy reptiles!) almost there!!! It's going to be two great days...I just know it!
Wow!!! So close to the finish line… I’m so proud of you guys and so happy that Jane sent it out and I happen to see her FB post so I could follow along. It’s been so fun reading these—I look forward to them every day. I felt a sense of “oh no” reading tonight’s—-it’s almost over.
