To Miami, Florida -- The Beach is in Sight!

Today was a great day! We arrived in Miami Beach a bit before noon to finish this biking adventure and kick off the 2nd Annual, Best-Ever Traders Point Christian Academy Walk/Bikeathon via webcast from the beach. Our students were pumped up! I'll follow-up with a few additional thoughts shortly on this day and trip, but wanted to provide a few images from the day for now. We will be driving back to Indianapolis tomorrow (about the distance to Quebec City -- 18+ hours), with plans currently to drive through the night. We're really excited first to stop in Atlanta to see great friends there and then reunite with our families and friends in Indianapolis.

We thank God for safe travels and strength to complete the journey and thank you guys for all your encouragement. Thanks also to Bob and Linda Smith in Miami for their hospitality here. I told Bob it's not just anybody I'd ride across the country to see, but they're not just anyone.

Hey Charlie:

This bike trip is so awesome. I love looking at your pictures and it makes me miss cycling so much!

Right now I´m living in Nicaragua. I don´t have a lot of money, but I am going to buy a bike as soon as I can afford one.

Take care,
Love

About Me

Ride Across America: A Journey of Faith Beginning on September 14, 2008 TPCA Parent and Board Member Charlie Grandy will Ride Across America, trekking from Quebec City to Miami - an overall distance of 2,235 miles in just 20 days! This Journey of Faith is Charlie following God's call to raise awareness and support of the mission of Traders Point Christian Academy. This will also serve to encourage students, families and participants to have fun, deepen their faith and develop a greater sense of community by serving together with a common purpose, as well as develop a habit-forming healthy lifestyle for our students, families and surrounding community. Ride Across America culminates on Friday October 3, when Charlie arrives in Miami and joins TPCA via a web-cast and we celebrate this incredible Journey of Faith. The students will then hold the 2nd Annual TPCA Walk/Bike-A-Thon on the school campus as their way to showcase the student body's focus on physical activity and spiritual growth. http://www.tpcs.org/rideacrossamerica.asp
