Fella's-
Thought you might enjoy another rider's comments
on the ride. Funny how many are similar to our
experience. I like the one in pink. This was
posted on Bryan Mitchell's site. -Dan• 202 wishes granted!!!!!
• Riding much of the way with my brother-in-law
• Having a rider tell me I did a good pull when
I felt like crap
• The goat at on the last climb Friday, weird
noises?
• In pain and suffering then saying out load to
myself at mile 86 turned the music up ( shhh, don't tell anyone)
and got in a zone.
• The Amish boy sitting on his pony.
• Not photographing the sunflowers along the
road Sunday because I was tired and didn't want to leave the
group I was with. I will always regret it.
• All the people who told me how much they
enjoyed my photographs, you are to kind.
• Riding 20 mph and shooting photos at the same
time.
• Meg's smiling face
• My knee hurting most of the 300 miles
• Think about my on day 2, "I don't want to do this anymore."
• The remembering the kids so I put on in my
earphone and kids
• Tearing up as I approached the finish shoot
and again when I saw my kids.
• Flying the last 10 miles forgetting about all
the pain
• Photographing the wish kids give riders their
medals.
• Waiting for Kevin at the finish, photographing
him and then hugging him.
• That damn cross wind
• That great tailwind!

guys.
• Not getting to ride with Team Blizzard much :(
• Not riding with team Alex at all :(
• How heavy my bike was with all the camera gear
• The lasagna on Saturday night, Yum!
• The cop on a horse
• The buzz of the tires in a big group
• Wishing my son could see me riding in a group
of 20+ riders, he would have loved it
• Wishing I didn't have to ride anymore but very
sad when it was over
• The inspiration for many, many people I felt
• The photos I made and the photos I missed.
