Trailer

Luke, our main man, one of 12 kids in the house next to our host in
Dilwyn, VA. He and some of his 11 other siblings signed our newly
minted trailer

"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.
