Today’s 70 miles from Breckenridge to Weatherford brought us close to the halfway mark of our trip. The last couple days have been long so the slightly shorter day with afternoon cloud cover and light winds was a very welcome respite.
We had a unique SAG stop on our itinerary this morning. Last night while the Wheel Power group was hanging out the Breckenridge homecoming community fair, we ran into a pastor whose small country church was along our route out of town. He and his wife invited our whole team to cycle through the tiny little town of Caddo and stop in for some coffee and a honey bun. I’m glad we did. This old country church was as plain as could be, but the inside was open and full of light and I could just imagine generations of music, prayers and good old-fashioned Bible preaching being offered week after week. What a blessing to get us through the rest of the day.
There were some complications with our accommodations tonight in Weatherford. Due to the logistical challenges involved with a group our size, it was decided we would forego our planned Sunday ride and shuttle directly to Richardson where we were due for our scheduled day off on Monday. We now get two days off—this too will be a very welcome respite.
