Don't know that we've ever had a more difficult 100 KM ride! The wind was against us the whole day - sometimes gusting to 20 MPH. Our average speed was about 10 MPH. We were all glad to ride into the La Quinta Hotel this afternoon, at about 2:00 PM.
Brenda sent me this text, which really gave me encouragement -- A voice of one calling: “In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough groundshall become level, the rugged places a plain. And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all people will see it together. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” (Isaiah 40:3-5 NIV)
This is our hope and prayer, that God's glory will be revealed among the nations -- even if it means we ride through the desert! BTW, we went over 1,000 miles -- nearly 1/3 of the way, in just 2 1/2 weeks.
Tomorrow the wind is suppose to be in our faces again -- and the next destination is Vega, TX, 78 miles away. Please pray for tail breezes!
Thank you for praying!
Dave, Luey & Andy
