I wanted to write a separate thank you to all the people at Calvin CRC who took the time to make me a care package and send it ahead here to Madison. I’m enjoying the treats and sharing them with fellow riders. The mints are a big hit, the Red Bull will come in handy on those sleepy mornings, the sunflower seeds are good anytime or anywhere but especially when you need salt. The prop-ell and crystal light (light?) will be nice to flavor my endless bottles of water, mmmmmm beef jerky, after which I’ll chew a stick of gum. I’ve already devoured the animal crackers and some of the trail mix, the mints are a big hit with the group and a special thank you for your thoughts and prayers as signified by the card. Thank you very much.
