We made it safely through Browning. I don't know what the big deal was about that place. It seemed fine and normal to me.
Anyway, today was another one of those days that just hurt! Neck, butt and knees are all sore. Part of the problem is that we're currently riding on Highway 2 and the surface is really rough, so after awhile the constant vibration takes its toll on the body parts. We're still on this highway for most of the week, so prayers for our endurance and recovery will be much appreciated! Plus, in our last 30 miles of riding,we faced some pretty decent headwind. We averaged about 7.5 mph even though the road was completely flat. We made it to our destination, the town of Cut Bank, and into the McDonalds only 5 minutes before the clouds burst open with hail and heavy rain! We stayed dry, our bikes stayed dry and we saw a rainbow!! We're waiting to make sure it's passed before we head out to make camp for the night.
We're officially done with mountain climbing until we hit the Appalachians in our last week. We already miss the beautiful scenery, but hopefully, if the wind will just settle down or blow at our backs, we'll make some good mileage and time. This part of the ride reminds me of Kansas or Oklahoma. The road is flat and long and there are hardly any trees to be found.
Gotta finish up these apple pies. And then head towards bed...or sleeping bag.:)

"Thank you, Lord, for protecting Mark & Sarah as they traveled through Browning. Perhaps the reason they didn't notice any danger is because of your protection of them as they passed through that area during the day. Thank you for your wisdom you pour out upon them as they make daily minute by minute decisions. Continue to guide, guard, and protect them and may you be glorified in all of this trip. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
ReplyDeleteThis morning as I was watching Joyce Meyer share about feeding people who are hungry, caring for their medical needs, visiting those in prison, etc . . ., I thought of this bike trip that has so far raised $7,692.50, and probably more that you aren't aware of at this time. My Math isn't the greatest, but if my calculations are correct, at $1.50 per child per month, that would be about 5,128 children per month or about 36 children from 1st through 12th grade including summers if they go to school then, being fed, educated, and shown Jesus' love. Wow! What God can do with any donation amount! It all adds up and is multiplied in His Kingdom. Praise His Holy Name!
Sarah, how is your knee doing? Is the pain better or gone? Love, Mom
