4500 Mile Ride for Charity - Update July 18th
Hey everyone! I will be departing to continue the last 2000 miles of the 4500 Mile Ride for Charity, tomorrow, Sunday the 19th. I am 4 days behind my intended schedule...not bad for a guy that is winging it :). Regarding my note about being broke and all that...my apologies for whining in public. It won't happen again. I think I had some lessons to learn on this ride as well. All the way from Ottawa (where I ran out of funds) to CT I heard a bible verse echoing in my head, and when I got here to Bristol, my baby girl, Nitza told me it was Matthew 6:26...off the top of her beautiful head. I am so blessed. Look it up...it reminds us not to worry about anything and uses the beasts of the field and the birds of the air as an example...they don't worry or toil and yet they survive. We are God's children...wouldn't he take at least that care for us? Think about it and Believe! Here is a little reminder pic...of a little guy I captured in Montreal. Ever try and take a picture of a sparrow?? They don't sit still very long!
So I started doing that somewhere during the three days of rain riding I did thru Quebec, down to the Parc National du Mont Orford where I had to borrow $20 CAD from a stranger so I could get back into the USA and to my sister Catherine and her husband Kelly (Semper Fi my brother) for getting me to CT. Thank you to Bruno for helping a stranger in the forest...reminds me of a verse where Jesus says something like "whenever you do these things for the least of your brothers...you do it for me". May blessings be many for Bruno and his family and everyone that has helped me with my mission to help those in need. All my challenges have been resolved by an old investment in Compaq stock I forgot I had...and I am mounting Pandora to complete the ride. Praise the Lord. I am starting to sound like a preacher :o rather than a biker...actually I'm just a geek with a bike.
When people ask me if I' riding alone...I tell them I have lots of people online in social media (and angels) riding with me. Thanks for everyone's support.
Where am I going next on my way to Texas? Let me think about it a bit...hmmmm.
