Thank you, Brother Ron for all thoughts and prayers.  We begin pre-running tomorrow.  You all missed a beautiful sunset over the Pacific tonight.  By the way the website to sattelite track is racetheworld.net instead of com.  I will correct it above too.

Yesterday was our first day of pre-riding and mine was fantastic.  My buddy and I did 141 miles and 40 of it was along the Pacific through little fishing villages.  At several we were swarmed by kids wanting stickers.

Unfortunately the other groups had problems and I won't get into all the details but will share the worst to get help with any prayers from believers.

One of our riders went down and broke his femur and it was an all night pickup ride getting him out of the desert to a little clinic and then an ambulance ride to Mexicali.  They have now life flighted him to San Diego where he is undergoing surgery.  I do not want to share his name because his wife has not heard yet but paryers for our hurt soldier would be appreciated.

We will rally and overcome this.  All is not bad as there are beautiful sunrises and sunsets, great riding, the sound of the surf at our back door and victory to come.  I will keep the interested posted and thank the rest for the space.
