Never again!

"Never again!" said Dora after the strong headwinds we ran into during the Great Escape a few weekends ago. Of course, she ran off and left me once we went with the wind, topping 24 mph in some instances - on flat road. At the end her legs weren't tired - she was just bored. Oh well, it's what happens when a marathoner starts to ride a bicycle...

Of course, those winds were nothing compared to what we ran into in Monterrey, Mexico during our drive to San Luis Potosi during Spring Break. Gusting winds tearing down billboards and smashing cars, fences falling, you name it. With 4 kids in the car, we were thankful to make it to hotel - and very, very blessed. Dora and I are convinced that there is NO WAY that we could have navigated to our hotel - the Monterrey Valley Comfort Inn - without God's help. Not only did he keep us safe, but he guided our path. There were multiple roads closed into the center of town, but he showed us how to get there. Don't tell me it was coincidence - there's no way.

This week, we are back to spinning at the YMCA and heading to Prairie View A&M for the Bluebonnet Express. We're deciding between 62 and 83 miles. We'll let you know how that goes...
