I didn't get to see it today, but the world's 2nd largest Paris boasts a 1/3 scale statue of the Eiffel Tower complete with a cowboy hat on top. Today found us riding 115 miles from Richardson to Paris, TX. You guessed it......we're still in Texas. Only one more day though. Tomorrow night will find us in Texarkana, AR.
I had the privilege of riding with two Wycliffe colleagues today. They have been following the ride with great interest since we began and since we were cycling so close to their area, they couldn't resist the urge to cycle with us. It was good to have them along.
We went through some pretty unique towns today. My personal favoites were Frognot (population 0....but they said it was on the map) and Bugtussel. We also cycled by the South Fork Ranch --home/location of the popular 80's TV show, Dallas.
I want to say a big thank you to the folks who put up the Wheel Power Team for 3 nights in Richardson. What a blessing you were to all of us! After a restful, surprise week-end, it's good to be back on the bike. Thanks again!
With all of this spinning it would be easy to lose sight of the big picture. Collectively as a team we have logged 12, 760 miles. We have had a chance to share the gospel with 147 people, and 34 of those have come to a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus. Continue to pray for more opportunities to share God's love to those we meet along the way. Also please pray for the Kekchi people of Guatemala. They need to hear God's Word so that they can also grow in their relationship with Him.

I'm glad we had a chance to ride with you.
Gordon put my bike in the back of the car on the ride back. We heard a loud pop. Then pssssss. My front tire had blown. I took it to the bike shop, and he said that my tire was splitting. Time for a new tire. I'm glad it didn't happen on the road. On the ride back, we went as fast as 29 mph. Having a blow out on that speed would not have been fun.
Thanks for the chance to ride with you.
