The Parable of 600 Miles: Training

The last several blog entries have shown some of the training we have been doing. Ed started riding in sub-freezing weather just a few weeks ago. A couple have worked out on trainers. The four of us here in Texas have been riding up and down hills and into high winds. All of this to get our bodies ready for some long rides. We don't want limbs turning into pretzels after the first hundred miles.

Forty-five people in the Democratic Republic of Congo want to train to become translators. They need the training so they can go do the long job of translation. They don't want to turn words into linguistic pretzels. But they are limited by a lack of funds. Won't you consider helping to support them? For more information, see the sidebar at the right.
