"Everyone who got where he is has had to begin where he was."
Quote c/o the esteemed Mr. Dennis Kelly.
Today was the first riding day into Suffolk and everything went great. Some heavily trafficked roads, but nothing a field of strawberries can't fix. We stopped at a field of strawberries and picked some to eat. And so it starts..
A great bunch, a big range of ages, the group is forming and its gonna be a gooood summer. Looking forward to Charlottesville and Colorado. I'll try and update this blog as often as possible, but as a leader there's a lot to be done. The trip journal on the Bike & Build website might be a more reliable source for day-to-day happenings (We're the Central US route).
Here are some quotes from the church marquee's I saw today:
"This sign is outside because Jesus is inside"
"God loves you, and he approved this message"
Not sure how I feel about this one, but it was startling nonetheless:
"Focus on the finish line, not on the journey"
I'll have to disagree on that one - this is definitely about the journey. And it has begun.
