Southeast Cycle Chase on the Roll

We made it. It has been a very long day. The fellowship and BBQ chicken at Trinity Presbyterian Church was worth every mile. Thanks to Bubba, Terry, Jeff and Pastor John and the whole crew! We had a wonderful time.
The JAARS send off was great. We loaded luggage, slathered sun screen, pumped tires, took the obligatory group shot at the sign, had prayer. A half dozen locals joined our group including a motorcycle with videographer. Thanks Merle and Bob! Bob (the videographer) actually spent the whole day with the team. Next time we’ll go for some JAARS helicopter aerial footage.

Hills galore. I actually like hills. I rode more Carolina hills in the first two miles than I have seen in a year and half in Florida.

Had a chance to chat with a few Columbia Int’l students interested in Bible translation. Good to meet Allison and friends.
We did 118 miles today. 8 hours in the saddle. 112 miles tomorrow. Little tired and it’s getting late. Signing off till then.
