Breakfast this morning was quiet...oh there were many people gathered for a morning meal, sharing cappuccino & espresso, bagels & baguettes, cereal & crepes, but none shared the commonality of the bike 24 other people had in recent days. No doubt everyone attending this past week's Thompson Bike Tour experienced some great riding and took with them wonderful memories, many in which I share; in those memories new friends have been found, new connections established, and fresh perspectives of life revealed, all because of a bike ride--who says the human race can't find the common ground of koinonia...
I head home today with a great sense of completion & anticipation of reuniting with my wife, my family & friends, and with the local roads upon which my bike & I have trained these past few months preparing for this trip; I suspect, though, each ride from this point forward and throughout my life will mean so much more....
The Chasing-Yellow journey of life continues...may mine give you praise, Adonai!
