Think!
I don't know what those shirts say, but it should be "I just rode my bicycle across the lower 48...Come back and see me when you can TOP THAT!"(:
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys have earned a rest. I think I would take the pedals off the bike just in case I had the sudden urge to ride somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteTake your time to work your way home. Arrive safely, prepare your power point pitch that you will be giving to the service clubs. I'm sure the Rotary, Kiwanis, Optimists and other will want hear your story.
Well done. I have said it before, but will risk being repetitive and say it again, you are my hero! Can't wait to see you this week!

I think the bike needs to be retired and go into the Shettel museum along with the car tags, maps, pictures etc. It is now a "special" bike and should be placed in a place of honor! You'll just have to buy another bike Barry. We are so glad you made it safely to the coast and hope all of you take a well deserved rest. What a wonderful adventure! God is great!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!! I was in Athens from Thurs until this afternoon so I'm just catching up. Did see your picture at PABC this am. (Missed seeing ya'll) What a joy it has been to follow you all the way from Washington to Maine! Like many others I hate to see the blogs come to an end. Have a safe trip home and know you have touched many hearts all the way across the USA!!To God be the glory!! What a mighty God we serve. Cheryl
