We shared stories about having bikes as kids and how much freedom that created to get places.

Bill got us helmets and locks at cost and donated a bicycle pump to Manna Meal.

We talked about how we were going to give the bikes away.

We find once August hits, the kids are anxious to come back,

We put on a horse show for all the Freedom Ride kids in December. Our club sponsors it, and we plan on continuing sponsoring the event every year.

It's an open feeling, a sense of freedom, a sense of contentment in knowing what you're doing is for nature. There's a oneness with nature. You feel like you're working with nature, not just sailing over it.
