Never thought I would be in a position to write about some Columbia biker buddies of mine.<\/p>\n

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.\u00c2\u00a0 He was fortunate to come out of this with some broken ribs and bruises.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s taking him awhile to recover but then, he did it a few days before retiring from teaching at a local college.\u00c2\u00a0 We figured he just wanted to go out with a splash…or should I say, a splat?<\/p>\n

Another of my friends, Pat, is getting back today from riding over 500 miles in Iowa.\u00c2\u00a0 He has some great times recorded at the following link in\u00c2\u00a0case you want to see.<\/p>\n\n\n

I’m proud of both these guys.\u00c2\u00a0 After all, how many of us can say we are friends with people that are passionate about biking.\u00c2\u00a0 They are great guys and are brave to get out on the roads the way people drive these days.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Congrats to both of them for their accomplishments!<\/p>\n

My wish for you today<\/strong> is that you experience life as passionately as these two.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
