It's 2:00pm on a Wednesday afternoon (half the week is gone already). I pushed it a little bit harder today to complete the 141km trek in good time so that I would have a chance to get on the computer and get an update out on the blog.
I'll start with last Saturday which ended up being our first 100 mile day by the time we were done. We left Willard at 6:00am to get a good start on the day and arrived at First CRC in Salt Lake City, a 100km into the trip, by 11:00am. After being served refreshments there we started up the mountain pass, a climb of about 3000 plus feet at 6-7 percent grade.
No sooner had we left the church for the climb and we had a small, steep hill that just about took any steam we might have had, out of our sails. It was a hill at 18 percent grade. Somehow I managed to get up it without having to walk. I am sure thankful for the "granny" gear on my bike.

Way to go, Louis! Hey, you are doing so great. We're proud of you. Glad the Lord has given you the strength, perseverance and the safety you've needed. Things are going well here, though we miss you. Andrew's working out really well. This morning the Lord called Mrs. Weverink home, so you can add the family to your prayers, include Mr. W who also has come down with pneumonia. Louis, keep on bikin'. enjoy each day. with our love,
R&P
