During my mini Sabbatical, I achieved a dream goal I set when I started cycling in 2005 by doing the Hotter N Hell bike race in Wichita Falls, TX.
This year, I decided to just go for it.
There are several from FD that cycle and tackled Hotter N Hell this year. Mark Owen conquered the 100K (62 miles) along with Steve Bassett, Harry Drew, Bill Wimberly, and Doug Ray from Legacy Group.
Mitchell McLean, and his brother, Marc, and Patrick Messersmith conquered the 100 miles.
And let me tell you: Those guys are impressively fast cyclists. I am so proud of our group from Funeral Directors Life. I thought we did really well.
I absolutely enjoyed the entire race experience.
I was very impressed with the volunteers. They were incredible. They are out there all day, and their cheery attitudes and helpfulness really made a huge difference. You can’t have a great race without a wonderful group of volunteers.
I had an amazing two weeks. I enjoyed my time at Meals on Wheels and getting plenty of rest. Thank you, Kris, and the Board for this wonderful opportunity.
