This year has thrown some definite curve balls, but I am finally beginning to train for the ride ahead. Nothing should surprise me anymore. This is, after all, a “reparation ride.” Our Lady will make sure that no grace is lost in the trials we face.

My few bags are packed.

If you see this rig riding along the ridges and coulees here in the Driftless, please offer up a prayer that Our Lady will prepare my soul well for the journey ahead.

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam!
