As you may know, Twitter experienced technical difficulties last week which prohibited status updates sent via text message from showing up online. As a result, my coverage of the final leg of the Ride:Well Tour suffered. With this post, I would like to complete my reporting by showing you what I tried to Tweet and what I would have told you if I could. Enjoy!

Last night I had dinner with my cousins from Leesburg: Steve, Anne, Molly and Frank. It was so fun to see them.

There is only one week left on the Ride:Well Tour. Next Monday, I will be flying back to Minnesota to spend a week with family and friends. Then, 10 days after that, I will get in my car and drive back out east in time for school to start at Regent in Virginia Beach on August 24.

Now I have time to think. Yesterday I got in… Continue

I won't deny that this trip has been hard. It has been hard physically, as I endure the pain of saddle sores and throbbing feet. It has been hard mentally, to just keep going even when it's not fun anymore. It has been hard emotionally, as this is the longest time I have been away from the people I hold dear. It has even been hard socially, for though the team is like one big happy family, sometimes I need a little "me" time. We are together almost all the time, so catering to my own demands req… Continue

Wow, I have so much to say, and I hardly know where to start. I know you all want to be filled in, so I will start by rambling a little to help me unwind. I don't have my own computer along, so I have to rely on the generosity of my friends to update the blog and check out other people's facebooks. I can tweet from my phone, so that helps with the brief updates, but I can only say a little in a few sentences!

At church on Sunday, I spoke during the service to tell the story of how I almost went… Continue
