STORIES
It was a wonderful experience! Getting to know all those who participated and everyone who helped were also a wonderful part of participating in this ride.
Sharing of ourselves, our experiences, joys and struggles along the way brought a special light to the experience. It gave it a very human and personal aspect knowing we are not so different from each other.
On a personal note, I wanted to challenge myself. Unsure of how I would do over the climbs on the passes, I trained for a few months prior to the ride.
I learned on this ride to face the uncertainty of wondering if I could accomplish the ride. The feeling of accomplishment, knowing that the preconceived notions of the difficulty were nothing more than subliminal mind chatter of doubt that were washed away by determination. I'd highly recommend being a part of this experience. It's great to be a part of something bigger than one’s self for a noble and very worthy cause.
My story is not as a rider. I’m a support person who shares this passion of stopping Human Trafficking.
Driving a support vehicle for part of the Front Range Tour and the Mountain Tour…WOW! This was a whole new perspective. Daily devotionals and words for the day, provided an added touch that I can't quite describe other than beautiful. So many other communities are working together to do their little part to help those children so far away. This was when I could finally share the reason I was so passionate about this cause. Trafficking is real, it happens right here in our country, our state, and was happening in my own hometown. Feeling angry and helpless, this group gave me hope that I could still make a difference for these other children.
The Mountain Tour experienced new and different challenges. Heat, cold and altitude were challenging but these cyclists endured. The hearts and souls of these riders was what we termed as "beast mode." These riders strongly, and boldly rode with a far greater purpose! Thanks be to God!
These rides build relationships of faith and friendship. It is a "family". What a blessing to have been a part of it and waiting to see what is next.
