Old man on a bike !!!

113 miles today and my legs decided they'd stay back at the hotel. Mt son, Tyler, laughed when I told him about the ride, he said I was to old. It really is nice when your kids worry about you,it would just be nice if they could relay it with a bit of a softer touch.....to bad he was right!
Everyone please say a prayer for Dani, as she had another surgery today. I am so proud of how hard she's fighting and I know your prayers help...so please!
In my "old" age I have come to the realization, that life does work in curious ways. The people I have met on this trip care about people (Canns'/Spences') they have never met, but the horrific story that is now attached to both families hits the heartstrings of everyone....in this month of October, which is National Domestic Violence Awareness month, people have reached out to assist those unknown to them, yet deeply touched by thier tragedy.
Please keep your eyes and ears open and be aware of any family/friend situation that deserves such attention.....don't pry or poke, just be aware, and if you should do more it will be because your heart and head told you to. Never say "I wish I had done something".
Keep each other safe and as always, I miss all of you,
Coach Simms
P.S. "Hey Ty, I still finished todays ride"
