| Sitting behind a computer screen. Looking at a photo of one of us on a bike. On a dirt road. On the way up a mountain. You can't feel the cold air. Or lack of oxygen. Or know the concentration behind each pedal stroke. Hold the feeling of strength and weakness. If only you could have been there with us. But we do hope you can get a sense from these pictures of the adventure. The wonder. The people we did this to help. Since our ride is already documented 'day by day' in our journal, we arranged our photos into specific 'themes' that developed during the ride. Hope you enjoy it. |
