Hero's Welcome

People cheering, taking pictures, and holding signs....

This is what met us yesterday when we rode triumphantly into campus at Hardin-Simmons University. We biked in the entrance to HSU off of Pine Street and rode under the clock and over in front of Moody Center.  Smiling and soaking up the attention from all of the wonderful people who came to support us and interview us, we stood as one group, one team, one family by our bikes- the tool that had connected the eight of us on one mission.

How do you describe a journey like this?

How do you tell people what it's like biking across the state in ten days?

How do you share all of the stories, the laughs, the jokes, the contests just as they happened in the moment?

We want to try. We want people to know our story. We want to be the catalyst that brings change to our community, city of Abilene, state of Texas...change in attitude towards the importance of fitness and health. So as we hang in Abilene for today and tomorrow keep following our blog as I will be using this time to post different unique stories and experiences we've had over the last four days.

God's blessings on y'all!
