Well it is all over - the ride has been ridden and the goal achieved. Friendships have definitely been made and a unique sense of camaraderie and fellowship bound together by endless hours on the road.
Today's stage was quite emotional for me a I realized just how safely God had brought us through this challenging tour and fund raiser for Pro Deo. To be privileged to ride with great men who are willing to sacrifice time and body to such a worthy fund raiser. Guys you are warriors all. To all our families that woke up to alarms in the early morning hours - to the Saturday morning 6 hour rides - you guys are tops.
Bennie and Elma - it is true that you guys are the heart beat and pulse of the Pro Deo Tour as you have been for the last ten year. Agnes keeping us safe from behind - you are an absolute honey. Brian you are the best sport of all - you took all that we threw at you and still
Smiled - Jono please change your next theme song or whistle it or hum it..... Anything ... But please don't sing it again. Freddy with a " y " enjoy the gardening bro - I'll wave as I ride past. Derick - our only man to tame the Generaal and fines master - how come Benny never got a fine. Robbie - well you were history after Blayre got on tour - but one of the last men standing - for a mountain biker you tried hard to get the roadies to think out the box - lekker ride bro. Colin ( with 1 L ) anytime you need to learn how to ride up front let me know - thanks for all the humour on tour- if it wasn't for you the road would definitely have felt longer. Lastly to easily the most determined rider of all Grantis you showed real courage out there these past few days you could easily have given up but hung on - well done partner.
To all of you I am sure that this is the beginning of something and not the end, God Bless and keep you all and I pray that he reveals his true light and calling in your lives
Till next time
See you in the DIRT ... Smiling
Yip back on the mountain bikes
Soon.
