finding cannondale
friday’s lately have become a time to attack the mohican mountain bike trail with some guys from the outpost. this past week our crew was my colleague, rob and myself. i wasn’t up to full ride so we headed back on the short loop. good thing we did…as we arrived at the trail head, the cannondale factory trailer went cruising by. Turns out they were in town for a demo show over the week. thanks to Providence, we met up with Graham and his compatriot, Jason and had a chance to show them the short loop. what made it an amazing experience was Graham outfitting us with their amazing machines. yep…the equipment matters. thanks cannondale. thanks graham and jason.
setting out on another adventure-Freedom Tour
So…more details to come, but 60 days from now, myself, two of my students – Clay Sloan and Mitch Weber will join 20 other individuals to ride 500 miles from Cincinnati to Washington DC to raise awareness for human trafficking as part of the IJM Freedom Tour. More to come here on the blog. We’ve got to raise about $9,000. And i’m confident we’ll get there. Stay tuned…more details and stories will be posted here. Til then this video will tell the basic story of “why”.

I am mindful these past couple of days that it was just a year ago that almost 300 tornadoes ripped through Alabama and left almost that many people dead. according to the weather channel, it was one of the largest outbreaks of tornadoes in history.. the destruction path was over 18 states.
It was only seven months ago that i rode with 12 others as part of Venture Expeditions the Present Hope Tour through that area to help bring awareness of the good work that Convoy of Hope was championing to help rebuild peoples lives and their homes. just watched a report of the Gov. of Alabama reminding all that the recovery and rebuilding is still continuing. it will be years yet til all is restored.
