Today was a challenging day, but probably not in the way you are thinking. It rained all night and this morning with even cooler temps than yesterday. For this and a few other reasons, the decision was made by the team leader to "SAG-up" to our destination. To "SAG-up" is to call the ride and load the bikes in the trailer. Now because we are only one day from our final destination with no change in tomorrow's weather forecast, it was decided to "SAG-up" not just to Christiansburg, but all the way to Lynchburg --a rather anti-climatic, but probably a wise move to conclude our 3000 mile adventure.
There was no riding at all today, but we do have a riding option tomorrow. A 75 mile loop up Thunder Ridge along the Blue Ridge Parkway. We are praying for a respite in the weather and a fun, safe, conclusion to our cross-country ride.
I hope to be able to connect to the internet tomorrow and post some pictures of the last few days.

Too bad. I feel your pain. I hope you get at least another ride in tomorrow. Rather an anti-climatic ending. Hey, like they say, "Ya done great!"
Greetings Doug and Team,
God has a plan and you guys completed the ride before you started.
Have a good night and remember He alway give us the desires of our heart.
Just continue to go with HIS lead.
Praying for good weather and a great finish.

Well...maybe you can ride the last couple of miles to the "finish line". That way you can finish in the saddle. Even if you can't, I agree with Ed, "Ya done good."
If Wycliffe does anything like this again, keep me in mind.

hi Doug, I tried to find a link on the wycliffe website when I first got home but never saw one. This morning I decided to write an e-mail to info@wycliffe to see if someone could help me ! Carol Weaver told me that the link was "a silhouette of Doug with his helmet". It sure doesn't look much like you, but it was the secret click I needed.
Hi Edwin
There's a link to the Wycliffe.org website in the COOL Links area on the right side of the blog.
Enjoy.
Sean
