| Day 1 - The Micah 6:8 Team is ready to start The Challenge! |
SOME GREAT NEWS TO SHARE:
Funds committed to date now total $149,650.00 that will go to aiding all the projects the Team is representing.
Please pray for our bike riders - as you can see from Tony's latest post, it was a challenging day for The Team!
We had a great ride today. 82 miles! We had originally planned to ride 64 miles, but we learned of a bike path this morning so we re-routed to take adantage of it. As you very well may know, bike paths are usually built on retired railroad lines, so the hills are usually shaved off. So we traded 18 extra miles for minimal climbing. That said, we did end up climbing virtually all day, about 2300 feet in total, but it really didn’t seem like it because the incline was so gradual.
It was not anywhere near a piece of cake though. It was very close to 90 degrees. All told, we had two flats, a rider with leg cramps, one with heat exhaustion, and I had what I’m told was a spectacular crash. I’m a little worse for the wear, but I’m OK. I am sure that all the prayer warriors out there had something to do with me not being badly injured. Keep those prayers coming!
We’re all looking forward to a great day of riding tomorrow.
Blessings,
Tony

He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.

Hey fellas,
This is Joe Tucker with South Street Ministries. I just wanted to thank you all for the support. It means a lot to us and enables us to continue some of our projects and ministries at the Front Porch.
So ride well, stay safe, and keep hydrated! And thank you for supporting us.
Looking forward to worshipping with you all once again.
Joe
Guys-
I am praying that you can keep the shiny side up on the bikes, and stay accident and injury free.

AMAZING!!!

Be safe in the Lord.

Praying you all slept well and you're refreshed for another day. Keep it up!
note from Pat:
I wonder if the number of turns of a bike wheel on this journey are equal to the number of pennies you have provided to all the local ministries your efforts are supporting...it would be fun to calculate.
It is indeed a great joy to know what is happening because of what you all agreed to do. Great job men. We are praying for all of you. God's blessings to you all. Pat Kavulic
