Hey guys,
ReplyDeleteThis is Mark from REI at Northlake. I just read through all of your blog posts and am very impressed with how your trip went. That's a lot of riding - did you really only get one flat tire on the whole trip?
It definitely sounds like you had a transforming experience. Great job on raising that amount of money for a worthy cause.
Stop by the store some time and give me some more details on the trip. See you soon,
Mark Odendahl
