We made it to Virginia and almost can't believe tomorrow is the last day. We're supposed to arrive at the Pentagon at 2:00 P.M.
Riders that have participated in many of the rides say this has been the toughest because of the length of the ride and the hills. After day one and two, We had our doubts about whether or not we liked it. By today we were talking about how to make our training more challenging and what our "next ride" will be.
I just asked Gary what I should write and he said "cold, hurt, steep, sore, tired, long, scenic, challenging, rewarding." That wraps up today, I guess.
Tomorrow is another early morning. We ride in honor of the children who have lost a parent in the attacks of 9-11 and the wars that have resulted. Our Nation's most
cherished possessions are our children and they have paid a heavy toll. Pictured at www.Facebook.com/teamlinfoot is Keegan who at age 4 along with his sisters
Rachel (age 8) and Meaghan (age 3) and brother Patrick (7 months) lost
their daddy.
Our Nation's Gold Star children may not understand what has happened or
why. They know that they miss their mommy or daddy.
