June 2nd – It’s not about us.

It’s not about us. I am reminded of a picture hanging at our Coldwell Banker Kivett-Teeters Associates office: “Don’t count your blessings. Share them”. And that is what we have set out to do. There are so many people who would love to ride a bicycle across the United States but, for whatever reason, it’s not possible. And we understand and embrace you. We are here to be your eyes, ears, legs and voracious appetites for you! And you are the wind beneath our wings. In moments of struggle…when the weight of the bike pushes back…when my heart is pounding through my chest, I think of you. I think of of how incredibly strong you are. I think about your will to survive. And I know how blessed we are to know you and call you our friend. The first pedal stokes of any long ride can be a little overwhelming. The realization that the months of planning has finally come to fruition. What was I feeling? The most beautiful feeling of all of you praying for our safety and well-being. An amazing sense of peace and purpose…of knowing we are exactly where we should be doing exactly what we should be doing. And now, at days end, eager for the best night’s sleep so we can bring an amazing day of discovery for you. Thank you all for riding with us today. It has been unforgettable!!
