Elite 8

Eight bikers..over 900 miles to ride in ten days...300+ miles already done!!

The adventures of the elite eight continue! Today we left Kermit around 9 am to head for Andrews and as many miles past Andrews as we could go. We ended up biking about 115 miles and then doubling back in the cars to our stopping place in Andrews at the luxurious Spanish style Casabella Bed and Breakfast.

Today has been quite a day...I've never felt such a comraderie among the members of our team. We sent goofy pictures back and forth by text to each other, took videos of us dancing in the car as we drove back to Andrews after our day's worth of biking, biked at top speeds and tried to catch up with each other, cracked stupid jokes, and so much more. This has definitely been a day of making memories!

A couple of prayer requests as we continue our bike ride across the state these next seven days...

1). Safety- as riding along the shoulder of the road is always a risky thing
2). For continued good health
3). For our sore muscles
4). For good weather
5). For the funds to continue to come in

And on behalf of the whole team, I just want to thank everyone who has been following our page, praying for us, supporting us financially, and helping us raise awareness for child obesity and the importance of health and fitness.
