After crossing the MS river Rick was treated to 4 hours in a hotel room plus his third real shower of this 8 day adventure. Rick is back on the road as of 11:10 pm. Thursday night.
Ciao rick
ti scrivo questa preghiera era di un mio carissimo amico un fratello come noi
ogni giorno la leggerò per te certo di un tuo arrivo alla meta
Preghiera del Ciclista
Signore
Fà che io possa cantare
sotto la pioggia.
Danzare sotto la neve.
Avanzare nel vento
Orientarmi nella nebbia.
Rialzarmi nella caduta.
Lodarti al sole.
Signore Gesù,
la bicicletta e come la vita
Fatica e sudore,
ma anche gioia e amore.
Maria Madre del cammino,
che le nostre ruote e le nostre vite
percorrano sempre le vie
che portano al signore
(Dario)
I rode across the US but nothing like a RAAM. My trip took 24 days which was difficult, but not even close to RAAM. That gave me a better appreciation for what Rick has and is accomplishing. This is an exceptionally tough mental and physical feat and it seems like the more difficult the conditions get, the stronger and more resolved Rick gets. Aside from this great accomplishment, Rick is inspiring others. Go Rick Go. Keep turning those pedal to the East. GREAT RIDING!
go rick from all of your friends in pastaland, wine is on me when you come back

Rick – Glad you got a shower, every time I opened this blog it was getting…..well, ah…..you know.
