Day 8: Arrival at Bee Cave

We woke up that morning to see the final team arrive at Bee Cave. This team also included Shae, who had surgery for breast cancer only 1 year ago and proved that it can be done and that she can win the battle. We are all so proud of her!

With all the teams now together, we rested and celebrated as an entire team, riders and volunteers as one. Our day concluded with some short speeches, recognition to the volunteers without whom we would not have been able to make it happen, and a great dinner at Salt Lick to replenish our fuel for the final group ride into Austin the next morning.

Lots of congratulatory hugs, including this one for Shae:



Our team captain, Bill, who lead a safe and successful ride this year also celebrated his birthday:



Mark and Gwen, guests at the hotel, heard of what we were doing. They brought us these balloons for us to write the names of those we were riding for...and then they were released into the clear sky. Another example of the awesome folks we have met along the way.






Dinner and celebration at the Salt Lick...an example of the all you can eat Texas BBQ to the extreme...
