I can't describe the emotions that Vicki and I have gone through over the past year in planning this year's ride and seeing it actually happen. I can tell you that the sight of hundreds of people blocking and lining Scott Road (with some help from the Police) to welcome us home absolutely took our breath away.
...Seeing the joy in the faces of the volunteers as they helped riders get ready to ride and hearing them say they wouldn't have missed it for the world.
...Watching as riders dug deep and figured out how to pedal some more and take it to the finish.
...Sharing stories along the way of loved friends and family who have or are suffering with cancer.
...Witnessing riders who themselves are struggling, put their hand on the back of another rider and say some words and offer a little push.
24 hours later I still can't stop the tears from flowing.
We have so many words to say to so many people in the coming weeks but for now just that we are so very proud of what you all accomplished this past June 21st.
Thank you.
