Matthew had loved bike racing and has don ti sense 8th grade. He is now a Sophmore and while mountain biking is fun, he does it for the joy of riding and being with his friends.
He went up with Milt Olsen and his son Simeon. They went up the day before so they could pre-ride the trial. I came up the next morning by myself and I wasn't sure how to get there. I texted Matthew and asked for him to send me a pin so I would know where to go. Of course, he didn't answer and I was contemplating what to do. Suddenly ahead of me I saw a van with bikes on the back and thought I should follow that van. It took me right where I needed to go. Matthew sent me a pin so I had the right area after that but I didn't feel like it would matter. Lunch time I had worked as a crossing guard that morning and it was about 100 degrees. I ran down to subway to get a sandwich and lost me way. Not sure what to do when it occured to me that I had the pin Matthew had sent. I pulled it up and guess what!!!! I could now find my way back to Matthew After the race, Matthew forget his oil for his bike so we had to separate again and I used the pin one more time. It is amazing how the Lord guides us as we need it. He is there to help us and protect us. It was a beautiful day!
