Reflections From a Country Girl

Never thought I would be in a position to write about some Columbia biker buddies of mine.

Recently, my brother-in-law, Kevin, took off on one of his biking treks, complete with helmet and safety gear only to wipe out and be unconscious for 20 minutes or so in heavy traffic.  He was fortunate to come out of this with some broken ribs and bruises. 

It’s taking him awhile to recover but then, he did it a few days before retiring from teaching at a local college.  We figured he just wanted to go out with a splash…or should I say, a splat?

Another of my friends, Pat, is getting back today from riding over 500 miles in Iowa.  He has some great times recorded at the following link in case you want to see.

I’m proud of both these guys.  After all, how many of us can say we are friends with people that are passionate about biking.  They are great guys and are brave to get out on the roads the way people drive these days. 

Congrats to both of them for their accomplishments!

My wish for you today is that you experience life as passionately as these two.
