110km today for Shae

published by 183 on Mon, 2011-10-10 01:03
Team 5 started today just south of Chadron, NE for their noon to 6pm ride! The motorhome volunteers Rick and Gregg had picked a great spot for the transition at Chadron National Park! We started out in the rain again - it lasted for a few hours, then it turned to drizzle and we finished in rain again! We did 110km today and during one of our rest stops, Shae - who was able to ride again today after having to take a rest day to get over her cold - told us that exactly one year ago today she was having surgery for breast cancer! So we celebrated that milestone and at the end of our ride, Shae took us into the transition area! So proud of you Shae and of the entire team! We are working well as a team, both on and off the road! We are now in Burlington, Colorado which will be close to our ride for tomorrow starting at 6pm! Rick and Ilene, the volunteers with us right now, are such great troopers! They spent 12 hours in the ambulance and then another 3 hours in the van with us driving to our motel here in Burlington! You guys are awesome! Peggy, and the rest of team 5

It was great to talk to you and to hear you are finally seeing some sunshine. There is a great reason to give thanks! It is really amazing to watch you all eat up that highway. We miss you lots but are very proud of what you are doing. Turkey just won't be quite the same without out you but at least there won't be any turkey toots on the drive home ;-0. Love you lots ...

As we celebrated our thanksgiving dinner, we went around the table and said what we were thankful for. I'd like to share with you mine.... Be thankful for every year that you get older. Being involved with Cancervive, we see too many of our friends pass away from cancer. So don't complain about the wrinkles on your face and yet another Birthday - celebrate each year that you get older. Love you all, bless all the riders, warriors, volunteers and organizers of both Cancervive and Wellspring. God speed to Austin. Bobbi Pin
