Hi Judy, After visiting your
website, I realized that I met you last year in Dalhart. Earlier I had
to laugh when you talked about the tailwinds into Dalhart in 2003. You
probably remember the riders at the Dalhart restaurant last year complaining
about the terrrible headwinds we had that day. I have been regularly
training in headwinds this spring as it has been very windy in Colorado.
I find it easier to ride in the foothills outside Denver than into a 20 mph
headwind. Looking forward to meeting
you again in St. Joseph, my starting
point. Will be checking on your website in the meantime. Keep on
training and have a great ride in the Western USA. Tom
-
You are one determined lady!
With a hot new bike, I might add. And raising $ for a great cause. While you
are riding in the heat, we are trying to sneak a few miles between the
torrential rainstorms that have hit the SF Bay Area. Yes, I need to
find a personal trainer willing to ride in the rain! Ha! Looking
forward to meeting you. Barbara
Wow what an article
on you. That was a nice piece. I did not know that was your age!!!
You look soooo much younger. Thanks for sharing. Julie S.

Great picture

Great article Judy. Looking forward seeing you

Thanks

that the Lord sent you our way, and look forward to serving
the Lord together in the days ahead. We just hope that Grand Lake, and
Stillwater will always part of your life. We wish you the best in your
exciting venture during the coming days. Serving
Him Together With You, Jim

Hi Judy,
Glad to hear from you. We
were home yesterday from the trip to Horseshoe Bay. Once again, we had
fantastic time while we were there at your beautiful condo. We made
ourselves at home, enjoying the serenity, beauty and making several trips to
attractions like San Antonia, Austin and Johnson city etc. For my sister and
her husband, this was their first trip to Texas. They had a great impression
of this lovely hill country. For my dad and mom especially my dad, this was
the first trip he made after his major illness three years ago. All in all,
we had a wonderful memorable trip. Thanks to your generous hospitality.
Have a super wonderful biking trip across the state. We will be
looking forward seeing your photo and reading your trip report. Take care,
Love, Julie & Alfred
-
My prayers are with you and
all the other riders of the tour. Linda H.
-
Have a great time on your ride. Van F.
-
I will keep you in my
prayers. God be with you and
keep you safe. Love you. Celia
-
Take care - I will say a
little prayer everyday for your safe return.
Pam
-
Only a few more days before you start peddling
your way across this great country. We will say a prayer for you every
night. Good luck and be careful.
Julie S.

It's fun to think of you

Jenee

That
really is a good photo and a great looking group. Wish I were there.
I really can't imagine the level of effort it takes to bike over all the
varying terrains you'll encounter in this trip. Good luck to all that
are on the trip w/you. Mary K.
-
Well,
if you were only going to have one picture, this is the one to have!
You look like a hardy group. Cheers, and keep on a'bikin'. Kathy

Trust
the trip is going well...and being enjoyed! Blessings, Brent
-
Dear
Judy. Rite now I'm on the trip with Meic Pearse and group of his
honor's programme students. They are travelling on the Balkan's and learning
about the culture. I think that they are in love with CRO. Will send you
some photos when I get home :) You just keep yourself safe and have lot's of fun!
Lot's of love, Tea Ps- will write more after the trip!
-
Hey
girl, Glad to hear from you! By-the-way, we had a great time at your "little piece of
Heaven" at Horseshoe Bay. We want to come again next year so we will get with you to reserve a
spot. Can't wait to see you. Remember I am praying for you in regard to the
situation you asked us to pray with you on. Love, Elaine
-
Judy, Are
you through with the big climbs for a while? Hope the saddle sores
heal up quickly for you. I know you'll do fine. You are very
determined and persistent. Hang
in there and things will get easier. Regards, Dana
-
We are all sooo proud
of you! Just keep up a good work! Love,
Tea
-
Judy,
Everything went
great!
You take care
of yourself and let God bless you every day. I know you will be
a blessing to others. What you have is contagious!
Love you,
Elaine
-
Judy.....Great news. I'm so proud of you!
You really did some awesome training and I'm so glad to hear it has paid off
in some
very measurable improvements. You know the more I think about
you biking over those mountains, the more impressive it becomes. I
raced Heart Beat 5K yesterday and won a pair of Asics shoes and that was a
nice surprise. Write when you can. I'm SO PROUD of you and can't
wait to see more photos. This is REALLY A HUGE DEAL in my eyes. Love You, Mary K.
-
You look good.........now
I see why you really went........all the men. Will keep you in my prayers.
Barbara
-
Hey there. Have you made it to Winslow. I
figure that is about 98 miles from Flag isn't it? 98 miles is just 4
marathons in a row.
You used to be able to do those on foot. Now that you have a bike is should
be easy. Keep on trucking and no crashing!!! Love ya SP
-
Looks like a large group – have fun! Ken W.
-
Judy,
you all are looking great. Hope you are doing well and good luck to you.
Stay healthy and cheerful. Love, Vera
-
Feel
better, personally I like Advil, but alternating ice and heat can help on
soft tissue. Good luck and fast recovery! Jacquie
Time
for you to think about that Tendon more... I am sure the Doc has told you to
stop the ride........ don't push the limits...... you don't repair like you
were in your 30's........ xoxoxoxoxoxo
Walter
I
hope your foot is better soon. Seeing your pictures makes me wish I
was in New Mexico. Take care of yourself. Barbara
-
Hi,
Judy. Sorry to hear about your achilles in your left foot. I hope it
is better real soon and you will be able to get back in the “saddle”
soon! On the other hand, it sounds like you have had some fun and met
some really nice people. You have done some serious miles – as I said, I
would not make it out of the driveway!!! Praying for you and thank you
for the emails – I am proud of you!!! Gloria T.
-
Judy,
what an inspiration you are to me. We miss seeing you at church but we
all are cheering you on and praying for you. If I ever do grow up, I
want to be just like you.
Hang in there and we will see you soon!
Martha
-
Dear Judy,
[I've sent you] some pictures from my trip with Meic Pearse. I was able to
take a lot of pictures on our coast and national parks. There are sooo many
places I would like for you too see! I know that you would like it a lot! I
hope that you'll get better soon. You are in our prayers! Tea
-
Hi
Judy, Great to get news from you. I'm sorry you have a problem
with your achilles tendon? That is usually a mechanics problem.
Has no one been able been able to diagnose root cause. Are you
stretching your calf muscles. Tight calf muscles can aggravate an
achilles tendon problem. I tend to have a chronic achilles problem in
my right leg and the only way to fix it is to stretch, stretch and stretch.
Good luck on the rest of the ride. Blessings, Peter
-
Glad
to hear from you Judy. Sorry to learn that you are having trouble with your foot.
Take care of foot before you can go on biking. I am having problem with my
knee. Doctor said that my cartilage was torn and am on anti-inflamatory
medicine right now. It is not fun not be able to walk like before or
gardening. We are looking forward hearing from you and seeing pictures.
Love, Julie & Alfred
-
Hi
JPM! Great photos....love your hair in the red hat! You look
great in your glasses! Take care of that foot and don't fret...you'll
be up on that bike soon! Lola W.
-
Judy,
John gave me the up-date yesterday... know that you are in our thoughts...
and we trust that you will feel the healing power of Jesus... and then
continue your ride. All is well here... John and pup are bonding
well... ...he's being well taken care of... he might not want to go back
home when you return
.
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Sandy G.
-
Loved
the photos. Your moments of triumph are exhilarating to see. Sorry
about your achilles. There seems to be an epidemic of Planter fascia
in my running group too. Hope you are better soon. It's good to
take a little time off to heal and come back for a strong finish. Love
you. Mary K.
-
Judy,
YOU are amazing! I love the Cont Divide pic. Bill and I are cheering
for you as we prepare for Christine, our youngest to graduate in two weeks!
Hope all heals! Thinking of you...Love, Barb
-
Great
pictures. Just got my computer back from shop—still not fixed. Take
care of that tendon! Love ya. Sarah
-
Hi
Judy, I'm happy to read that you are back on your bike. Are you
icing down after the ride. There is nothing better than to reduce any
inflammation and stimulate circulation to cure your physical ills. You
are riding through the middle of nowhere when you ride through places like
Dalhart. Wow, what an experience. Thank you for the offer to buy
bring me a T-Shirt. My friends would probably not appreciate me
wearing it or even thinking that they are hookers!!! LOL. Keep
up the good riding and take care of yourself. Blessings, Peter
-
Glad
to hear you are doing better. Keep upright on the bike! Dave
-
You
are my inspiration. Elaine
-
I'm
delighted that you appear to be recovering... use wisdom... ...push
yourself... but don't over do it... ...we miss you... Sandy
-
I
must say, you do not look like a lady in her 60's. Keep up the good
work, and take care of the tendonitis. Kathy
-
Hi
Jude! Great that you are back on the road again...this whole
accomplishment is so FANTASTIC...we are proud of you, girl!!! Keep on
keeping on, and on and on. Go Girl! Love, Lola (Dan &
Katy)
-
Sorry
to hear that you have had some "set-backs" on your trip, but my
goodness, congratulations for making the first 1,000 miles! You're a
great testimony to the fact that "getting older aint for
sissies!" You are something else! We are going to put
your 1000 mile picture on the screen this coming Sunday and include you in
our morning prayer time! Keep on keeping on. Love, Jim & JoAnn
-
Hi.
I hope all
is going well. How is your leg? I hope that you are still doing
OK. Good Luck. Jenee
-
I will
be praying for you, your Achilles tendon and SORE BOTTOM!
Love you,
Elaine
-
Sounds
like we're both doing some discerning at this point in our lives. The
psychologists say you do that when you have a birthday ending in 0.
I'm turning 66 in July, so I'm way off schedule. Ride
on, Roomie! kjr
-
Hi
Judy, You have biked more miles since you left than I have in the last
6 months. Pitiful for me, great for you. I can understand the
jelly legs. I hope it gets better for you as you move on. It's
easier for the young ones to say that they got stronger as the tour went on.
For us older young ones, it takes more time. Maybe by the time you get
to the East Coast, you'll be in the best shape of your life....or at least I
hope so. Too bad you haven't had much tail wind, but it appears that
you have managed to miss the bad weather that has been springing up here and
there. Best wishes for continued safe and happy riding and may your
legs and achilles tendon hold up. Blessings, Peter
-
Glad
to hear from you. Thanks for keeping us up to date about your biking trip.
Have a great trip. Love, Julie L.
-
Judy,
wow! Half way across the US. Even if you’re “going through
the motions” that’s very cool. Hang in there! Ken
-
You
do look like you dropped a little weight. With all the exercise you
are putting in no wonder. Keep the bike upright. Dave ... PS no
voodoo doll?
-
Enjoy...Take
care.. Walter
-
Hey,
58 miles of hills and heat is pretty darn good! Ken
-
You
all are making some progress.. that is amazing to see how far you have come
already. I liked the quotation from the memorial you sent. Hope that
the wind is at your back and the roads are clear. Do people honk at
you all for support? It must be pretty impressive with your group
swooshing down the road in a pack! Keep the faith. Karen
-
Glad
that you are having fun and moving right along. We are keeping our fingers
crossed for you. Take care. Love, Alfred & Julie
-
Thanks
for always dreaming big, and for inspiring others to dream with you.
Keep on pedaling! Love, Barb and Bill
-
Love
the cornfield shot! Ken W.
-
I
have been following many of your daily updates, getting myself prepared for
next year. (or wondering what I missed this year.) And I thought
the Southwest was going to be the hardest part.....All of you are doing
soooooo great. Keep it up. Barbara
-
Bryan
told me that you are riding cross country and should be in our area on June
20th. I'm hoping to be at a rest stop when you go through so I can say
hello!! Promise...I won't hold you up on riding. I just thought
this would be a great chance to say hello in person. Will go for now.
Think of you every day and hope your trip is going well. Joanne
-
We
hope your bicycle journey continues to go well. Love, Lois &
John - Helping Hands Foundation
-
Still
have you in my thoughts. I'm happy to see that you are back on the
bike again. Wishing you flat roads till the end??
Gloria T
-
Perhaps
the tour should be east to west???????
I'm following some of the websites just to know what to expect next
year. It's been fun but it would be better in person.
Keep pedaling, you're over half way there
. Barbara
-
I
am getting a very strong dislike for you----losing 11 lbs. You don't
need to lose any---the next pounds you can lose for me!!
I bet you need and
want a rest. I know you will enjoy your visits with you daughter and
friends.. Have a great rest of the trip.
G.
-
So
glad to hear from you and that all is well. Keep
riding safely. Karen
-
I
am enjoying your updates, God be with you all thru this journey. I
look
forward for your
return, I see you soon.
Blessing to you and everybody else that are doing this journey with you.
Celia
-
Thanks
for the updates. I've enjoyed reading about your trip. Jennifer,
Bryce and I spent a few days in your Horseshoe Bay condo over the Memorial
day holiday. It was very nice to get away from the business Houston
and
relax. The condo was wonderful and the views were great. We did
a lot of
relaxing, reading, hiking and jogging. Boy, are those hills killers,
especially when we're used to the flat lands of The Woodlands. It
appears
that you're having a good time. It's good to see that you're doing
well
physically. The picture of you in the cornfields reminds me of growing
up
in Nebraska. Take care and keep the pictures coming. Jeff
-
Loved
your photo in the cornfield. Also the Dream Dreams saying is powerful.
Thanks for the photos and the latest on your trip. You are
Awesome and I know you will make it all the way this year.
LOL. Mary
-
Hello
Scarecrow! What a cute picture...the corn looks so green and healthy,
and, of course, you do too! This whole thing still just boggles my
mind...I can't even imagine doing something like this; but then I haven't
been on a bike in years! Are you having to endure much rain?
Seems like that would be the pits and quite dangerous on slippery roads.
Have there been any accidents yet? You be extra careful through your
"danger zone". How's the heel? Love, Lola
-
Judy,
...sounds like you're flying along on that new bike... and recovered
from your a.t. problem... I'm looking forward to hearing of an injury-free
completion of the ride...we're proud of you!
Love,
Sandy
-
Hang
in there, Girlfriend. You're in my prayers. Just look at the
total raised! That's enough for several more years! Pat
-
Have
fun in Illinois. The weather should be a lot cooler than here though.
The humidity is really bad. I love the pictures and I think you
look great. I mowed the yard and look like I'm about to keel over and
there you are looking as cool as a cucumber. Life just isn't fair...
Take care and keep on keeping on..... Martha
-
Judy...
I've been keeping up with your news... girl you are to be commended ... and
you look good too. :>) I couldn't have made it 5
miles let alone what you've done.
Know that we are cheering
you on from here.
Take care.
Barbara
-
We
are doing great. Bet you have lost lbs. again. Keep riding
safely. See you in Aug.
Karen
-
Looks
like you are having a blast. Wishing you our best of thoughts and
prayers. Julie
-
Congrats
on the weight lose and on your perseverance through your injury. I just
can't imagine the perspective you are getting of the US crossing it on bike.
Love, Mary K.
-
Judy,
I am proud of [Denis]. And you...thank you for all you are doing cycling for
those blessed students who will receive your scholarships (of which now
Denis is one). We are truly grateful. Our prayers go with you as you
cycle... Cyndi

KARNOSCAK
EMAIL UPDATE
JUNE 19, 2006
Today is the day! Denis is graduating from high school! The ceremony is in
the evening at 7 PM Greece time (if you would, please pray for us Monday
morning your time)! Denis will be giving the speech as Salutatorian. To me,
this honor is another beautiful picture of God’s GRACE in his life after a
very tough year.
We are now down to the last couple of weeks in Greece before our departure.
Our days remain very FULL. Many tasks still to accomplish and many, many
goodbyes. I’m so grateful for His presence daily and for all the help he
has already brought to us. Please pray specifically for our STRENGTH and JOY
in the Lord. We’re trusting Him to hold onto our hearts and minds (and
bodies) in these very stretching days.
Please also pray for our days/weeks of re-entry and readjustment to life in
the US. Our summer entails more travel to see family, friends and ministry
partners. We settle back into our home on Labor Day weekend.
So, we’ll be in touch again on the other side (your side!) of the
Atlantic!
With grateful hearts,
Cyndi Karnoscak

Wow
Judy, You have made some progress… almost there. Keep up the good work.
You have missed weird weather – flooding in Houston, but not up where we are at!
But lots of rain and muggy. Mark’s messages
are strong and getting better each week. Take care! Karen
Ps here is a prayer to get you over the next hill!

Thank

-
You
do look skinny. Guess you can really chow down with a free conscience.
Since I've been sitting around with my shoulder and tendonitis in my
achilles, I'm getting soft and pudgy. Can't wait to get fixed so I can
get back to exercising. Congratulations on your trip. You've
really done well.
Dave
-
Judy,
Glad that you almost there now. Have fun.
Love, Julie

Hope
you are still on the road making progress… you are almost there! We are
all praying for your safe journey and victorious crossing of the finish
line. What a great moment that will be! You are so close… you
can do it! Karen
