Well, it has certainly been a while since this blog was updated!! We have been so busy over the past 2 months!! I have barely had time to breathe!! Anyway, I really wanted to let everyone know about Dave's ride to the top of Mt. Mitchell. Each year the Freewheelers of Spartanburg sponsor a 102 mile cycling event called The Assault on Mt. Mitchell. The bikes begin in downtown Spartanburg and make a 75 mile ride to Marion, NC. Then, they begin an awesome 25 mile ascent to the top of Mount Mitchell, the highest elevation east of the Mississippi! Dave began cycling in high school and since that time has always wanted to be able to make the trek. He never thought he would get the opportunity or be in shape to even attempt it but after much hard work and some extreme determination, he did it!! His initial step came last year, when he made the trip to Marion. This ride is required by the Freewheelers before you can make the ride to the Summit. This year, he was ready to go to the top. He and our friend and music minister, Brian Groce, have been training since January to make the ride. They along with 3 other friends biked away on Monday, May 18. We were very proud of him. Max wants to join him next year on the ride to Marion. That will take a lot of training!! Anyway, congratulations are in order so give him a thumbs up when you see him!!
Love to all, Shannon
