True journeys don’t really end. There are waypoints, opportunities to catch your breath, reflect, and tell stories. Certainly the nature of the path changes at different points along the way, and occasionally there’s a radical turn. But it seems like once you take that initial step the overall journey keeps going. As Becky’s fond of […]

It’s Gettin’ Real
FRONT RANGE FREEDOM TOUR ’14 just got a bit more real! It’s one thing to build web pages, design jerseys, and recruit riders. That stuff’s all fun, part of the dream, but it’s all virtual. When there’s snow on the ground and I’ve been cranking my bike in the garage for three months, it seems […]

What if I offered a simple way to support the kids at Project Rescue’s HOME OF HOPE in New Delhi? And what if you got to join the team for FRONT RANGE FREEDOM TOUR ’14 at the same time? You’d be all over that, right? Order 2 bands for $5.00 or 5 bands for $10.00 How […]

Last time I asked what sounded like a silly question. I wondered what it would look like if We All Go on FRONT RANGE FREEDOM TOUR ’14. I’m serious. I want to challenge you to find your role on this team. Why? Our church spent this weekend raising awareness about the issue of human trafficking. […]

Okay, I’m tossing out a challenge. In about five months a team of roughly twenty cyclists will ride bikes from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Raton Pass on FRONT RANGE FREEDOM TOUR ’14. And I’ve got a crazy idea. What if you ALL joined us? Yeah, you heard me…all of you. What if every person who believes […]

I get to spend most of this weekend talking to a lot of people about riding bikes in warm summer weather. As we plan FRONT RANGE FREEDOM TOUR ’14, it’s fun to anticipate what God’s got in store for this year’s team by looking back at the 2013 ride. I sincerely hope you’ll consider joining […]

We found an early Christmas gift under the RICH’S RIDE Christmas tree. One of our amazing sponsors, Top End Handcycles, hooked us up with a spiffy new set of high-tech wheels. Spinergy wheels are some of the best cycle wheels available. The carbon fiber rims are super light, and the whole system reduces rolling resistance […]

Okay, it’s leftover time. And, of course, we now move on to those uniquely American holidays: Black Friday and Small Business Saturday. At this point I feel like I need a big-voice guy shouting about crazy, impossible-to-resist deals. Set your alarm, beat the crowds! Sorry, but that’s just not our style. Frankly, I don’t want […]

Lucy and Kevin Donaldson have guts. The “red light district” in Delhi, India is six hundred years old. It’s big business, operated by organized crime. The ruthless human traffickers who buy and sell women and children place little value on a single human life aside from the income it can produce. They’re not kind to […]

We get a rare opportunity Saturday evening. We’ll meet some folks who are “boots on the ground” in the struggle against human trafficking. This summer our Front Range FREEDOM Tour raised money for U COUNT Campaign and their partners at Project Rescue. The FREEDOM Tour team and their supporters donated nearly $7,000 (after all expenses) […]
