A Pedaling Rev & Kev – Day 8

We rode 91.9 miles to Ballinger, Texas today. We had cloud cover and lower temps today – but that came paired with a north wind pushing against us. The morning ride was brutal – the roughest (bumpiest) roads we’ve encountered, steep hills, lots of traffic, and a strong headwind (we’d climb a steep hill and […]

A Pedaling Rev and Kev – Day 7

I thought we’d be through hill country today, but I was wrong. We did get out of the steep hills, but traded them for long, rolling hills, and I think we’ll have more hills for awhile – they don’t call it the hill country of Texas for nothing! It was a hard day on the […]

A Pedaling Rev and Kev – Day 6

We rode 82 miles today to Garner State Park. I kept track of my water intact today – I drank 240 oz while on the bike. I drank more for breakfast and more in the evening – but about 1.9 gallons from when we got on the bike until we stopped for the day. Even […]

A Pedaling Rev and Kev – Day 5

We rode 90.9 miles today along highway 83 to Corrizo Springs, Texas. Prior to today, highway 83 was often an interstate combined with other roads – so we took frontage roads, or business 83, alternate 83, etc. following the main road. Today, we turned onto the real highway 83. So our directions from this point […]

A Pedaling Rev and Kev – Day 4

We rode 100.8 miles today and ended up on the east side of Laredo. We didn’t really want to ride that far but there were no options for places to stay that were slightly shorter. We would have had to stop at 71 miles or continue on until until 100. Some roadside debris we saw […]

A Pedaling Rev and Kev – Day 3

We started riding around 7:30 this morning and ended 81 miles later at 3:15 in Rio Grande City, TX. It was a day of mostly urban riding on frontage roads of interstate 83, but by the end of the day we rode on business 83. It had a nice shoulder for the portion we rode. […]

A Pedaling Rev and Kev – Day 2

Some pictures from our travels to Brownsville. Corn ears are mature and plants are starting to dry out here – they have quite a jump on the growing season compared to Indiana! We started our trip around 6:30 pm at the US / Mexico border The first few miles we had to ride on the […]

A Pedaling Rev & Kev – Day 1

Our bicycle journey from Mexico to Canada began this morning. We are planning to start riding our bikes at the border in Brownsville Texas – so today’s task was to start heading that way in the truck and 5th wheel. It’s a three man crew of me, my friend Kevin, and my dad Dave. Once […]

Colorado Trip

Here’s a photo tour of our trip to Granby Colorado June 12 – 19, 2021.

Potential

We looked at John 12: 24-25 last week at Youth: Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world […]

BFF

Friends come and friends go, but a true friend sticks by you like family. Proverbs 18:24 (The Message) This week, for the first time, I considered taking the phrase BFF literally – best friends forever. It’s possible, in fact it’s guaranteed for you and your Christian friends. You will be friends forever. God values relationships, […]
