Can't sleep so I'll blog

51 days until the challenge leaves Mesa, and in some ways I'm ready and could leave tonight and other ways I need another 6 months. I feel much more prepared this run then last but I think because I did ride last year that is where I feel like I need more time to prepare. I have been riding a lot lately with a former Hoka Hey Challenger and he has given me so much more confidence in myself and I so need that. Lucie has a new front tire now and I was thinking if I sold her I could get a new (used) bike with a bigger tank but so far no takers. Riding is something I just really love to do. I started when I was 10 or so and never lost the love for it. The people I have met on my bike are usually pretty great people. I remember one ride I went on to Myrtle Beach with my oldest daughter on board. We met a guy who evidently had been living on "Happy meals" because he had all the different toys you get in those meals glued to his bike. If those toys could talk I  bet they would have some great stories to tell. My younger daughter and I rode to Canada twice and they just loved her. She always managed to light up a room. We now have Canadian friends because of those trips. Well guess I will go try to sleep again. Goodnight....

Prayer

Hello everyone, I am working really hard on my fund raising campaign and have met so many awesome people. The awareness of people to what is going on right here in our country is so important. The Veterans that gave of themselves I can never duplicate, and the Lakota Souix should not be ignored. God has told me to go to South Dakota and pray so over the fourth of July weekend that is my intentions. My efforts to do anything has to always start with Him. I ask that you join me in prayer and that what God has to tell me I will do to the best of my abilities.
