Weather. Being under the weather. Weathering long meetings, late meetings. A grand conspiracy to keep me off of the bike. I'm sure that's it. Or, maybe it's just nature and life happening with no regard for my mission - to ride 5,500 miles this year. A mission that has taken multiple hits and which is now essentially unachievable. I'm

UjumbeUganda [C] -- work with churches
UjumbeUganda [S] -- work with schools

I feel your pain, but am telling myself there is a certain beauty to realizing the goal is less important than the process. Though I still believe without the goal, the process itself will fail.
