We're writing today's post from rainy and space gray Provincetown. Our band of HOTT Crew pilgrims is moving tentatively from site to site along Commercial Street as we try not to become drenched in the deluge outside. It is, however, a perfect time to reflect upon the pilgrimage we've just made. An annual pilgrimage that has us pedaling our bikes 125 miles in one day every September. It's the same route year after year, and has become a kind of holy land for us. Every mile unique, yet cumulatively all linked together reminding us that this is no mere physical challenge. It's the end of a year of service, and also the launch for a new year of service. A physical and spiritual renewal of the bond we feel with those in time of need and our chance to invite and welcome others to join us in this journey.
There are a lot of holy lands. Our hottie above is in an area some consider central in their lives. Bedecked in red fleece jacket (could this be a harbinger of the end of black North Face jackets?!?!), and a driving cap and stylish eye wear exuding edification, our hottie patiently waits for the bus, and has a look that seems to say, "I'm home. This is where I belong".
And below you can see the welcome sign that greeted us as we arrived on our bikes in Ptown and just how rainy it is!
