Faith...
Wow... I really don't know where to begin on this... Today was an experience that I will probably never forget. Today we rode the Ribbon trail and Holy Cross trail and while on Ribbon I experienced something extraordinary.. My brakes faded to the point of no return and I couldn't stop. In my attempt to stop I tried to put a foot down and pretty much bury my pedal into my right calf with no stopping in sight I saw a pocket of sand to the left and turned my bike into it... I was saved by a pocket of sand, nothing made by man saved me from what could of been serious bodily injury or worse. The whole way down all I could think of was a prayer said before the ride and where my beliefs stand and began to think about who I am as well as my faith... I began working on this the day it happened but haven't posted it due to the fact that I wanted to finish it when I felt it was time... I haven't posted any pictures or anything since the day it happened but that was because the rides since then were too much fun for me to stop. Well the post was almost forgotten but how can I forget this event and thought I would share it with others. Spec-ED is Out!!

Dude--I had no idea you were having these thoughts/feelings. Whatever it takes to get you down that road dude, sometimes it's crazy stuff.
You know you can talk to me whenever you need to, if you need to.
What can I say other than I am proud of you. I am proud of how far you have come as a person, a rider, and a father! I am so happy that you have had the opportunities and the friends and support that you have to accomplish what you want to accomplish as far as your riding goes. I know what your feelings are and I anticipate your fears when you go on certain rides, this comes with 5 + years so just keep watching Doug!! Keep it up!!
Love,
Andrea
