The newest member of Team Green – Rick

Our final leg before arriving in Austin adequately fulfilled the definition of “epic” – very imposing or impressive; surpassing the ordinary.  Certainly any six hour ride that begins at midnight has the potential of such a description.  However, throw in a tropical storm and you’ve got reality!

Team Green rode into that storm.  It’s name was “Rick”.  We rode through it.  It didn’t beat us, but rather built us up.  I guess it is true, what doesn’t break you makes you stronger.  Many parallels between these struggles and those of our courageous warriors whom we ride for, don’t you think?

Any way, I hope to put down into words my thoughts on that night when I get a little more time and the screen doesn’t seem so blurry in front of my eyes.  Until then, enjoy some video from that Day Four at LowCadence.com:  Have you ever ridden in the middle of a named storm?

Thanks for following us all online this year.
