Day Four......

This day would be one of our favorites.......the kids rode the South rim of the canyon and Ryanne also completed a 60 mile ride....mostly climbing hills that had no end in sight. This was her record ride.

The sun came out, the winds calmed a bit and we had this view the entire day. Happy faces again!!

This day was also filled with fun stops along the way.....

Ryanne's support crew....Nathan is the best! He was always smiling and loved cheering all the big kids on.

The kids got to look at a model of the canyon and see where they had ridden from that day.....

We climbed to the top of this tower and got a birds eye view of the canyon....

That's looking down from the top of the tower with the Colorado river below...

This has been one of those adventures we will talk about for many years to come. It has not been without it's bumps in the rode but what good story doesn't have that right? We have had vehicles with flat tires, lost keys, lost wallets, minor dents in motor homes, hurricane winds that have sent us running for cover and now snow but it's all good. We have stuck together and found joy in even the hard stuff.

And we have a group of kids who can say they saw part of our amazing country all by bicycle. How many people can say that?

John and Sandy prepared all the meals and that was no easy task for 30 people some who were so hungry from riding they could eat a horse when they got into camp.

Part of the support crew. Nathan, Chloe and the smallest supporter is Alena.
