You should be SOOO proud of yourself - getting to the summit by car was difficult enough winding our way up the mountain, I cannot imagine trying to do it by bike. And the wind - enough said! :)SouthernSasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15959361870518899595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-25181771645613427752010-08-31T13:34:28.459-06:002010-08-31T13:34:28.459-06:00Oh I'm so sorry that you didn't quite make...Oh I'm so sorry that you didn't quite make it and that you were so very close too. :( I'm so impressed with all you've done!

I'm glad that you kept going. Quitting can be the easiest thing to do in a tough physical endeavor - but you didn't succumb to temptation!<br /><br />Oh my, I actually can't believe that the wagon didn't let you finish when you were so close. But, you showed your class by not fighting the director and looking at the long day from his perspective.<br /><br />Sometimes, much later, I think that the "failures" (or unplanned turns of events) shape me more than the successes. From your narrative, that may be the case for you when you look back at your ride.<br /><br />BTW, your photos are stunning.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-75579665216318620072010-08-31T07:15:08.554-06:002010-08-31T07:15:08.554-06:00You were awesome!
