Today was our final training day for the big Tour. Yesterday's training was mostly about the cause: modern slavery and human trafficking. This "Just & Hope" tour is helping to raise awareness for the issue in general, but specifically five projects- one in India, one in China, one in Indonesia, and two in Thailand. Specifically, we learned about the community center that is being built in a village in northern Thailand. We actually got a "Scype" from the missionary there, and spoke "face to face" for about 45 minutes.
Today we went for our training ride together. It was only about 23.5 miles, but it helped us to bond together as a team. By the way, our team consists of 14 cyclists- 10 male and 4 female. While I (Tim) am by far the oldest, I am not the only one who is married. There are two other young men who are married. We all have unique personalities, and we ought to compliment one another well on the tour.
In the evening, we had our team photo taken in front of the Space Needle, and then went for some New York pizza! New York, of course, is our ultimate goal! Tomorrow, the Tour begins!
