One last post
Team TurningWheels for Kids is at T-minus 16 hours until we’re up to take on the Death Ride.
I saw many of our teammates yesterday in Markleeville – Mike F, Dave R, Scott G, Todd O, Derek L, Dan M, John O, Mark M and Jessica J. All have been preparing for tomorrow in their own way – some climbing mountains and some eating every 20 minutes – but all are in positive spirits.
The weather looks like it will be very cold in the morning, but not too hot in the afternoon and there is no call for rain (or hail). Some of the group is starting in the dark with lights on their bikes (4:30am – I think they are crazy!), but I’ll be half way over Ebbetts Pass in my car at that time, so I can’t say too much. My goal is to start at first light, somewhere between 5:15 and 5:30am.
My family all comes in today and we’ll have a grand finale dinner this evening at Lake Alpine Lodge. I’m going for salmon, rice and vegetables.
Cross your fingers for no suicidal squirrels, fallen rocks or leaping deer crossing our path tomorrow!
Until the recap,
Leah
