I thought that I would give a big shout out to my dad right now to let you all know how cool he is. My dad really loves to ride his bike. Four years ago at Christmas his present was going to be the chance to ride his bike from Idaho to Arizona and my mom would follow him. Well, right before he was going to leave for his trip he was diagnosed with cancer which required a year of chemo. The past year he has really been trying to get going on his bike again and building his strength. A couple weeks ago he announced to the family that he was going to try out his dream again of riding across the state. Well, he did it!!! He started in Franklin, Idaho Saturday and took Sunday off. He then started going again Monday morning and he made it to Arizona this afternoon. Isn't that cool!!! I personally feel really good about myself when I bike for 4 miles or so, way to make me look bad dad! We love you and are proud of you!
