Since Wednesday this week I’ve been cycling with our Youth Bike Tour through the upper Catskill Mountains here in New York state. It has been an incredible week of cycling, service and faith sharing. Today we deviated from our daily cycling routine and climbed to Dutcher’s Notch and on to the summit of Blackhead Mountain.

The 4.4 mile climb up to the summit was a challenge, amply repaid by an incredible vista with thunderheads rolling, dark to the north and sunshine filtering through the light rain. Even after the climb down I’ve got enough energy to post this from my iPod Touch using the new WordPress mobile app. Great stuff… Awesome teens… and an able crew of adults bringing it all together.
