Fitness. Fellowship. Faith.
THE THANG: ride bikes with lights. Got in 10+ miles in the dark.
COT: Read your Bible every day. Start in Matthew and start reading slowly and take it in.
THE THANG: Turnbuckle, to Burenetts Ridge, to Ross Marble, then a Loop around Hickory. Pax had to keep the Q from getting lost. We found some magic mushrooms and that is when the real trip began. Talked to a rabbit for about 5 minutes then we rode flow Bro. The night cap was a sweet night ride down West Perimeter and back.
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Prayers for Hooties Friend’s family.
COT: Everyone is going to have super tough times in their lives at some point due to deaths of loved ones, illness, or other catastrophe. Sometimes it’s all we can do just to get up and put one foot in front of the other. Just keep doing that and eventually things will get better. Just try to hold on to hope.
THE THANG:
Up Contender from Pump track…then east on Ridge to Dragon on left…down Dragon…climb Relentless Ridge (easy way up)…west on Ridge to Renegade on left…turn right on Contender back to the top…turn left on ridge head down the Right Stuff. Climb back up challenger and down your choice of Right Stuff or Relentless ridge back to the cars.
COT: I talked about how in book of Matthew, Matthew refers to himself as the tax collector. His selfless accounts of Jesus’ life caught my attention and it made me think about how I could be more selfless in my life and if everyone was more selfless our community, nation, world would be a better place.
THE THANG:The Race route
MARY:

COT:Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.”
~ James 1:12 NIV
Just think how easy it is to have Faith in easy times.
And how easy we struggle with it in tough times!!
THE THANG: Tackled Far East taking a quick detour up and down Lemon Drop where the Q forgot to turn left and lost the PAX. Back on Far East to another detour onto Mayor’s Hot Tub. Back on to Far East taking the new reroute to Trans Farm. It was then Biker’s Choice on Creek Loop to MCR to Bridges Descent to play a little AC/DC. Back on Chain Ring where the Q (me) made the unfortunate find of a piece of what looked like 100 year old barb wire which proceeded to punch three separate holes in said Q’s rear tire! The Pax commenced a group of four to repair the the tire but the FNG was the only who could see good enough to actually repair each hole in the tire in the fading light with bacon strips. Thus, we love him and want to squeeze him and name him Bacon Strip. Once BaconStrip worked his magic the Q was able to ride out down Lost Chromosome back to the parking lot.
