What are the odds that on my last group ride with 70 riders on Tuesday evening I would be wheel to wheel with the one bike that suddenly cracks a frame and the derailer and skewer snaps?

The accident mangled both Art’s bike and my bike but incredibly both of us were unhurt! I sat in the ditch and said a prayer of thankfulness!

One fall so close to the Ride Across America and I could be a scratch. The bike is repairable, just like the car was repairable in our recent car wreck.
Since Christmas I have logged 4,334 miles in 240 hours of riding in preparation for the June 16th start. I thank God for His protection and encouragement during each mile and hour.

“I publicly praise the Lord for keeping me from slipping and falling.” Psalm 26:12
