Day two has begun Drive to Euraka ride to Ely then Drive to Delta UT

We set off for Day two driving to Austin Riding 122 miles to some were near Ely NV, then continue driving to Delta UT. This will be a long day. That said, I was able to share the message of this ride with two people at Walmart in Fallon NV, as we were picking up supplies. Please remember this ride is about 3,000 children orphaned each day in Africa. They have nothing until someone stands in the gap for them. Please consider what you can do to help, be generous, it will not be unrewarded!

Ride for Hope Prolog

Often during a cycling Stage Race the first event is a prolog, a short event to establish the race leaders.  I was going to wite about the next couple of days and a little bit about the reason I am riding.  But I just had my Cousin Bill Foley post this in www.redsoxlife.com the best Prolog I could imagine.

Pre Ride Update - Why We Ride!

In just two weeks I start of Ride for Hope Coast to Coast 2015.  When I talk to people about the ride, most comment about the difficulty of bicycling so many miles in so few days.  How uncomfortable and painful it must be on a certain part of the anatomy! They may question where will I be staying on this journey, do I stay in a hotel, or they have questions about ride support, nutrition and water.

Certainly a ride like this is a daunting task, the physical effort, pain and logistics can seem overwhelming, but overcome by training and good planning.  Fortunately, I have got the training in and the organization does a good job putting the event together. I have to admit most all of the riders, including myself, love the challenge, camaraderie, and adventure of the riding. But I undertake this challenge because I want help make a change in the lives of these desperate children. This video is why I ride.

Why We Ride for Hope Coast to Coast!

This ride is about children that every day live without an education, continually endure difficulty, pain and hunger.  I am so blessed to use my God given passion to help these children. Would you please consider supporting these children... Would you consider a gift of $5, $10, $20 or more to help. Small  or large any gift will go a long way to provide a loving home, daily food, education and health care for the children of Christ's Hope.  Click here now to  donate.

Please check the blog; I'll be updating weekly now, and when the ride starts I'll be posting daily route, photos and videos.

God bless
