As you remember, Bill was cycling on 4/29/2009 and was hit head on by a car. He spent 12 nights in the hospital, had 2 surgeries, (1 or 2 still to come), and lost so much strength he had to use a walker to make it to our mailbox. At the time he was training for Blood, Sweat, and Gears, a 102 mile bike ride in the NC mountains. Our God saved Bill that day and gave him the resolve to "make it back". On Saturday, June 26, 2010, Bill completed the ride in 5 hours 42 minutes! He said he was riding mad - every time it got tough, he got mad about being hit. Must have worked because he did awesome!
On his way to the start line.
Still looking strong at mile 82!
At the finish with his #1 riding partner (and great friend through his recovery).
