Digits....

OK, not those digits, but my rider number for the MS is.....

2468. :)

As in 2-4-6-8 who do we appreciate?! :) I love it. So so SOOOO random, and it's so me. I'm off to bed. I have so many thoughts right now. Lots of things that shouldn't be floating around up there, but I'm not going to lie, it's distracting me. I think its just God's way of just letting me think about those things now, and get to enjoy the ride tomorrow.

That thought and method to His madness (my word for stuff like that) makes me thankful. It's going to be a gorgeous two days on the bike. Watching my dad get his number on his bike and helmet and being silly makes my heart beat stronger and smile. His rider number is 1837. I say it ONE EIGHT - three SEVEN!!! Yeah, but my parents are sleeping, so no yelling the numbers. :) Just watching him get ready is all I needed to see. I can't believe the day is here. My mind is ready. There is nothing to think about other than the ride....(and an article due on Tuesday - yikes!) It will get done. I can't take my laptop on the bike! lol

To be on my bike....is to have time with God. I'm taking my rosary. I would like to start something called Rosary Rides. I'm pretty sure that it is self explanatory, but just in case..... you pray a rosary while you ride. KEEP your eyes open!! :)

Ah - it's time for bed. But before I do that.... my thanks goes to God. You had/have this big plan and purpose for me. I pray that I can at least fill my day with things that you had hoped for me. I would always like to maximize my day and put my best into my day for You. And just to live it out loud. My thanks goes to my parents who seem to always have my back no matter what. Thank goodness. A brother like no other. Love you. And to some pretty amazing friends who come through with words of wisdom and love. You seem to know what to always tell me when I'm down. I am amazed by you. Blessings.

Here's to my 2nd MS, and to the names on my bandana: Troy (biker guys friend), Rasmus (my friend's brother in Germany), Melissa Vallance (unknown woman's name was on the bandana when I received it) & Alex Perez (my friend's brother and namesake to Team Alex). All of these people I have never physically met, but I'm more than sure we will cross paths one day. May our pedalling bring joy and positivity to your lives. Be Blessed.

In Him, With Him,
Elisa

It's GO TIME!
