Are You Ready?

"Are you ready?"  Been an interesting question I've heard over the past couple days and today provided me with plenty of opportunity to think about this question...I'll elaborate more in a minute.

So, we made it through a day of sign-in, registration, and support krew "set-up".  Was a busy day but everyone is settled in and ready to go.  Our very special guests, Gary and Shelli Wilmarth, arrived this afternoon.  We gave them a big welcome, were able to get them up Vail Mountain on the gondola, had some dinner, and now we're all settling in for the night...going to be an early start tomorrow!

We have new members of the Peloton to recognize:

Calvin & Jenny Deetz
Jerry & Rosalie Hartman

And we have new members of the Challengers to recognize:

Todd & Gen Missel
Dan & Mary Smith

Thank you so much for your support and welcome to the Krew!  We have reached $5,600 as of today.  We are less than $2,000 from reaching our $7,500 goal!

So, let me go back to the title of this "post"..."Are You Ready?"

Bike checked over, tuned-up, and ready?  CHECK!
Clothes packed for all conditions?  CHECK!
Equipment checked, packed, and ready?  CHECK!
Physically trained and prepared for the toughest 100 miles to ride?  CHECK!
Support Krew gathered and ready?  CHECK!
Carb loaded, Sodium Loaded, and hydrated?  CHECK!
Acknowledged that this is only the LT 100 and that I'm riding for a cause bigger than this race will ever become?  CHECK!
Asked God in prayer for the personal strength, the personal courage, and His power to help me accomplish the task before me?  CHECK!

Am I Ready?  Are You?

Tomorrow morning I will Saddle Up, Dig Deep, and Ride Hard!  Let the Glory be God's!
