we are staying strong by Jeni

Well the polka dot team is resting tonight. It has been a long cold day but we are ready for a warm great ride tomorrow. Looks like it will be close to 70 when the polka dot team rides out.
I cant tell you how much I love doing this ride. This is such an amazing experience. I love coming in to transition and finding out how the other team faired. And they are always so happy to either see us or maybe just happy to be off the bike. I will take the one that sounds best… happy to see us. Then as we come in the other team is cheering and doing the same thing for us. LOVE to hear those HOLLAS!
To keep the team spirit alive the Polka Dot Team has been polka dottaying the cars…. Polka dot here…Polka dot there…. Polka dot you every where!!! We have managed to get the Yellow team, the Massage crew, and Green team. You never know what kinda of polka dot you will get… So far the Yellow has recieved ribbons on the door….Massage crew…. you must take care of them they got a ribbon and polka dot cookies…. the Green team got dotted with stickers on their cute faces and hmmmm do i smell another dottay brewing??? who will we strike next… Stay tuned and we will keep you posted.
Getting back to the business… Riding… Being strong… Honoring….Remembering…. the cold air we went throught today, I was kindly reminded that it is nothing like a day of chemo. So Off we ride into the the high noon sun (dont worry mom I will be covered up well) to the break of dawn we come…. 6 pm we stop. Or goal will be to make it to 100 miles to try to make up the distance we lost today. Hey teams… have you hugged your drivers lately? what about those fellas in the bus behind you… dont just show them your tail. Give em a hug. they need it.
Love to all…. BE SAFE…. remember….we are all in this together. XXxxOOoo Jeni Shu, polka dottay!
