Makbike, I saw your name on a 3-state, 3-mountain challenge thread on Bikejournal and was so excited for you. That looks like a fantastic, albeit challenging, ride. Good luck!
Maybe I'll be able to recruit you to do the Bicycle Ride Across Tennessee with me in September. It's in the eastern part of the state this year!
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
