After my first long distance bicycle ride from the tip of Rhode Island to my then-home in Lewiston, NY, just North of Niagara Falls, I wanted to ride across America, but I did not want to do it alone. The trip from Rhode Island was rainy, lonely, threatened by bicycle breakdown, but rescued by a man who picked me up, took me home to dinner with his family, and gave me some dry clothes. And where  did he work? The Local Schwinn bicycle factory. His buddies were all bike builders, mechanics, and in the morning my bike was as good as new. 

 

 

 

Now, that was a miracle and proof that God moves in our lives, if we but look to see. 

            

So, wanting to ride across country, I decided to ask a fellow student who I knew was an avid bicyclist if he wanted to go. I found him in the dining hall, sat down and introduced myself, and popped the question, “You wanna ride across country this summer after graduation?” He said, “Yes.” And we did.

            

Say Yes to life. It all flows from there. And sometimes the best things happen if you ask someone else and they say, “Hell yeah” or just plain “Yes.”
