Easter Services
We set out on our two wheeled pews, not quite at sunrise, but devoted, nevertheless, to showing our reverence, appreciation and respect. Only two of us were in attendance, but our sanctuary was filled to overflowing with southeast breezes, rolling hills, lakes, trees, horses, barns and bright glorious sunshine. The service was oriented more around discourse and discussion of doctrine, rather than the ritual ordinances of intervals, sprints, pacelines or hill repeats. We remembered with the sacrament by partaking of the Gatorade and Powerbar, and enjoyed the hymns sung by the choir of tires and asphalt. Our worship never ends and is not limited to one day a week. We worship six days a week and rest one. Our love is undeniable, our sacrifice complete. We are true disciples of the one and only. 53/17.6

TEN FAVORITE RIDE PICS: (no particular order)









MOST MEMORABLE EVENT:
April 29, 2009 The Day My Mom Died.

A whole new perspective was brought to my life by her death. All I can say is, life is very different when you have no parents, even when you're as old as I am.
I was close to my siblings already, but am amazed at how close we've become since her death.
The out pouring of thoughts, love, kindness and wishes from those who knew her was awe inspiring.
I need to thank Amy, for how kind, supportive, encouraging and helpful she was after my mom's death.


MOST PROMISING EVENT:
Meeting Emily


With all the amazing things that have happened to me in 2009, there is still no greater joy that I receive, than from my children Ethan, Britney and Gabrielle.
