Hello all!!! Only 2 days left.
Today we rode into Grand Island and it was quite a ride. We rode 82 miles and averaged 17 miles an hour into a light and moderate breeze. Overall it was a good day. I was in a bit of a mood and either rode by myself and then led the pack for 27 miles towards the end of the day!! It was a lot of fun. Our group grew by 3 and tonight another 2 gals joined us for the final 2 days! Tomorrow we are looking at a 60 mile ride with the possibility of adding some extra to hit the 500 mile club!! Tonight I was the given the racer award because they say I just don’t know when to stop!! Hey, my motto is “Shifting is overrated!” I had a comical conversation with some of the guys that if I didn’t need to start, I wouldn’t need my lower gears, maybe I could find a someone to push me to get started and then I can just let er rip!! The highlight of my day was being surprised by Jen at the Hotel!! It was a nice surpise to open the door and see her and Jalise standing in the hallway! Thanks for all your prayers.
Back on the home front, after getting the boys off to school and making sure they had all their luggage packed for their weekend pow wow for Royal Rangers, Jalise and I tried to get out the door as we wanted to surprise Dave...unfortunately, it just didn't go as planned. The best part of my day though was receiving a rose today for my flower arrangement! It is absolutely beautiful!
Finally after lunch, Jalise and I headed out to Grand Island. We arrived in town and the bikers had already gotten to the hotel. I had asked Toby if he knew what room Dave was in and he thought 128...so of course I knocked on the door only to be greeted by Jodi Banzhaff...ya, so not Dave. Luckily, just at that moment, Dave called me and I asked him where he was and what room he had gotten. He then said he was on his way to the mall so Jalise and I scooted back down the hall and as he walked out of his room, there we stood. It was the best to see the look on his face and surprise him!
I was able to spend the night with Dave and Jon and my parents were also able to come down with my Grandma Miller for the little get together that the church had. Fun times! We enjoyed some swimming after that and of course then got some much needed rest.
From my very happy picture window view that included Dave and Jon in it to yours, have a great day!
