Every day seems to be better than the day before … each blood center and their employees just to get better and better.
Today was a very interesting day, a beautiful ride, and just enough rain to cool it off for us.
Thank you, Dan(the driver of the motorhome), for everything you have done to help with this year’s “Be A Hero Bike Ride 2012″, you are a wonderful man and a real asset to any organization or event. Take care of yourself, and, get well quick. (Dan ended up going to the local hospital, after a fainting spell, and a quick checkover by the firemen and paramedics who happened to be at the blood center. Thank God!)
I am trying to spend more time uploading pix at the events, via cell phone, and FaceBook. I hope this gives each of you a more up to date snapshot view of what is happening at each of these events.
Tonight we are staying at the Manatee Hammock campgrounds in Titusville, which is a beautiful place, has showers, electrical hook-ups, etc. The kids are loving it, because they get a place to camp out and sleep in tents.
A quick shoutout for Jeff … today, he was teaching the kids by example, how to clean the chains, take their wheels off of the bikes, and do a very thorough clean-up of their bikes. He is a very “hands on” technical guy who is also a very passionate teacher and really cares about J.J., Cody, Maya and Brittany. He wants this trip to be a “life-changer” for each one of them and from what I can see, at some point in the future, they will look back on this experience and their encounters with Jeff and the adults on this trip, as one of the “highlights” of their lives! Thank you, Jeff!
Well, it’s time to close for tonight. Talk to you soon!
