An Awesome Example of Endeavour

We were very,very fortunate to have Peter come to talk to us about his mountain biking trip.  He rode from Banff in Canada to the Mexican border in 22 days without any help from anyone.  Peter rode in a race called the Tour Divide which is a distance of 4418kms. While he was riding Peter had a GPS on him so people could track his progress. We had lots of fun checking out where he was everyday and learnt lots about maps and the areas where he was riding.  Peter showed us his bike, showed us photos and talked to us about his trip.  We were all very fascinated to find out how he survived such a long ride.  Even though he told us lots we still had many, many questions to ask him.  Thankfully he was able to spend enough time with us to answer many of them.  We have been thinking about what Peter had to do and what new things he had to learn about in order for his endeavour to succeed.  Thanks for inspiring us to go for our goals Peter.
Good luck for your next endeavour.  We'll be there to support you.

  3. He didn't get one puncture and had the same tyres the whole way.
