Ron & I stopped for a snack at Hallelujah Junction and Ron didn't feel like shouting Hallelujah. All day long, for 6 hours we were bucking a headwind. I don't know how he does it, but Ron stayed in the front 95% of the time today. He just has the legs for this kind of riding. He told me today we should thank GOD for having the desire to even attempt something like this. Given the choice of desire to win or a natural athlete, I would choose the potential athlete who has that innate desire to win every time. Ron has more determination than anyone I have ever ridden with; and if I actually cross the finish line, it will be because of him.
