R.A.I.N.

For FOWC with Fandango, we have been asked to use the prompt “Marathon.”

My oldest son has participated in the Ride Across Indiana, or R.A.I.N. for several years. It is a 160 mile bicycle ride that crosses the entire state of Indiana. Some riders can do this in 7 or so hours, others, like my son, do it in more like 12 hours. He has successfully completed the race some years, one or two years he couldn’t complete because his bicycle failed in some way or another, much to his very, very great frustration. My son, Jason, is not all that competitive, but he thrives on personal challenges, especially very physical ones. So, if you think of it, send him some good vibes or say a prayer for his safe and successful ride tomorrow. I’m very proud of him.

His brother-in-law, Cole, is also riding in the event and they have a friend that will drive a vehicle across the state with them with tools and parts in case of breakdowns.

Go Jason and Cole!
