The Rockies II

Think of your greatest successes. Think of your best day ever...your best relationships...your greatest gift to your community. Somewhere, tied to each of these, you went the extra mile. And it paid off.

Going the extra mile is doing more than the normal...more than expected. Going the extra mile is extending ourselves in our efforts and our communication. Going the extra mile is getting back up after we've been knocked down, despite whatever has happened, and saying, "I still choose the very best for myself!"

The Extra Mile America Foundation is an organization that encourages positive attitude and action by reaching out to individuals, organizations, businesses, and schools. Through lectures, teleconferences, and social networks, we empower people to apply the extra-mile principle, reach their goals, and live a more self-directed life.

When I planned the Extra Mile America Tour, I admit that pedaling over the Rockies was always in the back of my mind. It would be one of my greatest physical tests, and I would definitely give a sigh of relief when I was coming down the back side.

That was part was true. In fact, when I made it to my highest peak in the Rockies, that moment was my biggest emotional day. On the inside, I was bursting.

What I didn't take into consideration was going over the Rockies again. On the way home.

Leaving Denver today was quite the experience. A heavy storm warning was in effect and the potential for up to 24 inches of snow to drop was very real. Driving through the blinding snow and slushy roads was no fun at at all. We made it down the back side...again...and although the storm will be with us till home...I let out my second sigh of relief after getting over the top of the mountains.
