twenty four days.

I went on my sixty-five mile ride this morning.
It would have been fine except I didn't have enough water, the last twenty miles were brutal.

I am getting so excited for this trip, to meet people, to start riding, to explore and experience the country.

For now, I am packing up my room, visiting family, and working out like crazy.

thirty seven days.

my route for the summer got switched.
i am now on the central united states trip that goes from Virginia Beach, Virginia to Canon Beach, Oregon.

only problem is that i leave a month earlier than i was planning.
i don't know how i am going to be ready in time.

may 19 to july 31
i will have about 10 days to recover before i have to be back in gainesville which is good

i leave in thirty seven days.

Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.

-John Newton
