Rain held out for the e-bikes to outnumber the real bikes. 😥

THE THANG:
Sharps Ridge: started out looping around Lincoln trail and then heading up Sharp Shin to bomb down Nightfall. Climb up SS again and take Firebreak east to the road. Take the road all the way to the overlook where they are building a new lookout that looks like an unbelievable drop with the city of Knoxville in the background. (See picture) there we had the BOM. And afterwards continued down the road where the ebikes split off I went down the connector trail where the real bikes stayed on the road and we met at the cul-de-sac. Once there th ebikes took Knightfall again down and looped around on the new extension of Lincoln to the parking lot. The real Bikes took Independence to the cars.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: none

COT: I told the story that I heard about a bike manufacturer that decided to sell most of their bikes online. They were having about a 60% damage rate during shipping. One of their employees had ordered a TV and it was delivered to his house and he noticed how well it was being taken care of. The people were very cautious with it. He went back to his company and they decided to put a picture of a television on the outside of their box. It did have a mountain biker on the television, but it still made the box look like a television. Their damage rate went down to less than 10% after that.
This makes you think of how people treat each other. If they think that we are valuable, they will treat us so, if we are thought of is not valuable, then we are treated often times poorly. God does not see us that way. He sees us as a valuable and lovable human being, no matter what we look like or where we come from or what we’ve done. Often times people think that they need to clean their life up before they can come to God. That is definitely not true. God will clean you up once you come to him.

An OTB run occurred from North Knox. We ran through the homeless streets near Karm, and then by Big Ball to say hello to the PAX mid workout. We traversed across the Henley Street bridge, then back across the Gay street Bridge, running all the way down Gay Street, through 4th and Gill, and then back to the Donut Shop. Good times were had by most.
