True?
Courage has nothin' to do with the absence of fear. Courage is when you're scared to death and you get up in the saddle and go on anyway.

Picture 7: 14,000 riders, one little boy sitting at the edge of the road said, "They just keep coming!"
Picture 8: The Bar! 98 mile rest stop. This Wichita Falls bar every year offers free beer and bratwurst to all riders doing the 100 miles who want to stop and come in. Talk about motivation! I unfortunately could not eat a bite, let alone with a beer.
See you Sunday, September 5
