DAY 4 -
Sunday,

DAILY
QUOTES
Jesse
Stevens
-
The trip
began on
Wednesday
with a
big
bang,
literally.
After
fixing
some
bikes,
we began
our trek
5 hours
later.
We had a
great
time
driving
up
north,
staying
at with
the
Behrens
family
at the
Colton
church –
what
great
hosts
they
were. As
far as
the
riding
goes, it
has been
a lot of
hills.
Nothing
too
steep,
but some
long
ones.
Also, as
we are
staring
out at
7am, the
temp. is
45
degrees
(take
into
consideration
the wind
from
riding
and
blowing,
and the
wind
chill
has
probably
been at
freezing
level).
Thanks
to
Dutch, I
have a
wind
breaker
and
jacket
to wear
in the
morning.
At any
rate, we
have
done 2
centuries
in a row
(100
mile
rides),
and I
have
felt
really
good
both
days. No
considerable
soreness,
and I
have
felt
strong
throughout
the
entire
day. The
Lord has
been
good in
providing
me
health
and
strength.
I am
asking
for
grace to
continue.
We will
be
heading
for the
Oregon/Washington
border
tomorrow.
Look
forward
to
telling
you more
in the
days to
come.

entertainment
we’ve
had.

- Today was a really
hard day we had hills
practically the whole
day.
I learned an important
lesson at times you will
feel alone and get
lonely but when that
happened I remembered
I’m not alone God’s
with me. An a verse came
to me I will never leave
you or forsake you.
THANK YOU LORD for your
creation and being with
us. AMEN
Steve Monks
- Wow! What an
adventure! We’ve seen
so much in just three
days – bridges, canyons,
farmland. Uphill,
downhill, and wind
through the mountains
and hills.
The rides have been long
(almost one hundred
miles each day) and
challenging but totally
awesome. The support
crew is doing an
incredible job looking
after us by cooking, and
so much more. The first
day we passed through
beautiful farmand. I
imagined the whole trip
would be so flat and
beautiful. Wishful
thinking. Today we
passed over a four mile
bridge to arrive in
Astoria, Oregon.
Traffic was whizzing by,
ships and water below.
It was exhilarating. Off
to get some rest before
another long ride
tomorrow, most likely my
fourth personal best.
Love you all, |
