Location: South Lake Tahoe, California
It was still raining today so as promised, Randy came over with his truck to pick us up and give us a ride to the north shore of the lake. We really regretted not being able to ride around the lake, it being a scenic stretch we had been looking forward to for a while, but we just could not wait another day for the weather to improve. (The photo above was taken from the north shore the following day. Beautiful isn't it?) We had not spent much time with Randy up until this point other than our brief meeting up on the summit two days ago and the half hour at his business show room so the drive to the north shore gave us a chance to get to know our benefactor a bit and have a chat before our ways parted again. His wife Wendy also came along for the drive. We found out that Randy regularly competes in cycling races and now has dreams of going on longer cycling tours. We can definitely recommend the trip from Tahoe to Penticton! Randy and Wendy are also Christians so we enjoyed talking about our shared faith. In addition to all the kindness we had received during the last few days, Wendy handed us an envelope containing a very generous donation from a friend of theirs who when they had heard about our trip got so excited that she could not resist to send us this gift. She had never even met us so we were quite take aback by this gesture. Incredible! THANK YOU PAM AND ERIK!
Randy dropped us a few kilometers before our north shore destination because we were eager to ride a bit.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH RANDY AND WENDY FOR YOUR GENEROSITY. WE WILL NEVER FORGET HOW YOU HELPED US OUT AND HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN SOME DAY. AS WE SAID, OUR HOUSE IS ALWAYS OPEN FOR YOU.
