In California: Final Prep for Saturday

Category: General

In yesterday’s post, I talked about the incredible help that Fezzari and Rack-n-Road were. Today, I’d want to express my gratitude to Zondervan, my publisher and our main tour sponsor, for their assistance in making sure we are back on our feet after Monday’s bike rack disaster. Zondervan has been incredible to work with on this tour, and we are so grateful for their coming through for us in a time of need.

Today, we traveled the final 700 miles from Utah to California to finish up our pre-bike tour road trip. Now, we have a couple days of final preparations before our Friday night kick-off BBQ and then the official start on Sat. The newly fixed bikes traveled fine on the new bike rack. It was great to go a day without any incidents. Thanks God!

The most original road name we’ve ever seen!

Best of all, we picked up my wife, Kim, at the airport this evening. She had to stay behind to work a few more days at the hospital (she’s a NICU nurse) while the boys and I drove cross country. So, now the entire family is here. The stage is set. We are ready to go!

    Praise the Lord you are now “Simul” on your road “Ad Alta”! This prayer warrior is praying for lots of wind at your backs :-)
    The temporary setbacks that you’ve had might be seen as “signs not to continue on” by those whose feet are planted in this world, but we know Our Heavenly Father is in control. Your reactions to misadventures, and how Our Lord uses those misadventures, speaks volumes. Speaking of volume (and please forgive my cyber rudeness): GIMME AN “A”, GIMME A “D”, GIMME AN “A”, GIMME AN “L”, GIMME A “T”….you get the idea :-) Elizabeth

    Way to live in faith and truth. May each scar and milepost echo through your family into eternity. Enjoy the Way.
