When we got through the construction we got into this rolling hill country. We had over 20 hills like this picture, one after the other. We would go as fast as we could down and start the incline in our highest gear and keep shifting down and be in our lowest gear about half way up the other side and grind to the top at 4 mph. The worst part was when we got to the top there was another one up ahead that looked bigger. After the 6th or 7th in a row I began to pray for mercy in the form of a really strong tailwind! At mile 60 they were over and we had flat ground for the last 34 miles.

Dee, I’m sure there must be a life / spiritual walk analogy in there somewhere. Looking forward to hearing your sermons. Keep on rollin!

I think the moral of this post is: You have to climb a lot of hills before you reach the top! But once you get there, the view is AMAZING!

Pastor Dee…you are a inspiration to us all. The nice thing about hills is once you reach the top you have the downhill ride to enjoy. Kind of like our spiritual walk – life challenges while in the flesh, followed by the reward of heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus! You haven’t mentioned any headwinds yet. I’ll pray for tailwinds for your journey! Bob Stewart

Dee, I was talking to another long-term church-goer last Sun. I asked if he’d heard any more about you and your trip…. he said; “Dee? Dee who?” And I replied in my best John Wayne, ” Smile when you say that pilgrim!”
I do hope Montana is more fun on a bike that in a car… outside of W. Montana, the rest is one big wheat field with the world’s first nuclear reactor thrown in. We continue to pray for your rump… Mike is doing great, but we miss your cute little face up front there…………………………..
