1st Day Behind Us

Wow what a day! I have the distinct pleasure of seeing the ride for the second time, and I continue to be amazed at what individuals can accomplish with the right frame of mind. I have enjoyed seeing team members enter the day with anxiousness and expectation. These individuals who doubted themselves, solved their concerns and finished 125km triumphant. They should be very proud! For those of you who ride bike, you understand that there are moments when you feel you just can't make it, you question if that next hill is possible. You are forced to simplify your thinking, you begin to focus on pushing one foot over another, hoping you don't stop and fall over. One pedal at a time you crest the top to enjoy the descent. It isn't impossible, you have the power and energy inside- you just don't always know it's there.

Isn't that life?

I am lucky to witness our success team! I look forward to working to 165km tomorrow!

Maud, nice meeting you this morning. As a breast cancer survivor- you have faced a very long and steep ascent and reached the crest with style. I wish you long and fulfilling journey.
