I hope you got some sweet massages after you reached Alamosa. P.S. I asked the other Emily in my crew if she knew where "the proof is in the pudding" comes from and she said she was pretty sure she'd read it somewhere recently. After a few minutes of racking her brains she pulled out the copy of Don Quixote she finished reading a couple weeks ago and found it! Except it's a little different, it's more like "the proof of the pudding is in the eating." So there you have it. I don't know if that's where it originated, but at least it's a step!

We at GMR have your trek outlined on the outside of my cube (for everyone to aw at) and I'm highlighting your path as you reach each checkpoint! Hellos to everyone and big hugs to Walt and Kyle please! I am still scared of ET, but will let the “ET Effect” you came up with slide because it’s awesome :-)

CHRISTMAS 7 YEARS AGO I WAS BIKING OUT AND BACK IN SARASOTA, FLA. GOING OUT I WENT ACROSS A BRIDGE ON THE ROAD. ON THE RETURN I WAS BEING DRAFTED BY A YOUNGER RIDER. I FINALLY SAID " I'm the old guyI should be drafting you" WE SWITCHED AND WHEN WE GOT TO THE BRIGE HE WENT ACROSS ON THE WALKWAY. AT THE END ON A BEND THERE WAS A HOLE. HE MISSED IT, I DIDN'T , DID A HEADSTAND FRACTURED 3RD CERVICAL IN MY NECK AND COMPRESSED 3 THORACIC VERTEBAE. FORTUNATELY THE NECK FRACTURE WAS STABLE OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN PARAPLEGIC. I WAS LUCKY BUT IT TAUGHT ME NEVER TO BE INATTENTIVE ON A BIKE. GO BISON- SEE YOU SOON-STAY HEALTHY HEY PAT
