To Be Continued ...
We have talked about going back to finish the ride several times. For most of that time I thought we were talking about going back to finish the Katy Trail. That sounded great to me. Well, after more talk Mary Kay's idea was to finish the rest of the ride - Rocheport, MO to Plymouth, IN. It looks like that is what we will be doing, probably early next June. Honestly, we miss the riding and feel incomplete. So hopefully, we can bring a few people back to our blog as we continue the adventure. It has been remarkable hearing about people who were pretty consistently staying with us through the blog. People I would never have thought would be interested stop us almost everyday and make some comment about our ride. We wish we could keep an interesting blog
This is a big week for us! Saturday - July 17 is the Magee 3 Triathlon. This is in memory of our grandson, Michael Noel Magee. It has always been special and a great day. In the past we have donated any proceeds after expenses to local emergency services in the area. Those services were so important to our family ten years ago. As I have said before we believe Noel was our angel helping the four other members of our family survive a very bad accident. It should be another great day. Many of the participants are friends of our family and many have young children of their own. In addition to the triathlon, we have finished of with a short run for the younger kids called Noel's Run. Well, those kids are getting bigger now and many are ready to try something a little more challenging. We have decided to add Noel's Triathlon this year. This will be a very shortened version of a triathlon, suitable for five to nine or ten year olds. It should be another fun way to celebrate. I will post some pictures next week from the day.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank those who have decided to donate to the Michael Noel Magee Scholarship through the Marshall County Community Foundation. Anyone still interested can make a donation by going to their website - http://www.marshallcountycf.org/ and click on the link to the scholarship in the middle of the page. Remember our goal was to encourage everyone to - Do Something for Others Today. This might be a way for you to do that, or you may have another idea. We encourage you to do something, we found these acts so important and inspirational on our trip. Have a great week!
