Headed north on the 15 freeway...cars are everywhere...merging onto the freeway, switching lanes, slowing down, speeding up, minor pockets of gridlock...Team aHbe Racer riding leisurely through it all, weaving in and out of traffic, sometimes splitting lanes, sometimes just cruising. Then miraculously, like a curtain lifting before a theater performance, the freeway clears up with only a couple of cars dotting the horizon ahead. Abe, Sammy, and Rowe crouch aerodynamically on their bikes and prepare to take off...70 mph...80 mph...90 mph...100 mph...the moto riders are kissing chrome, tucked in, topping maximum speed. The horizon blurs, extreme focus on the road ahead, the wind whistles around them as they slice through the freeway...
Kissing chrome or tucking in: when a moto rider positions his upper body low over the gas tank and parallel with the handlebars, lips inches away from the chrome. This aerodynamic crouch allows for maximum speed and less drag.
As aHbe Racer tucks in for maximum speed, they look to the horizon as they prepare for its official launch on March 5th. Shirt samples approved and need to be ordered. Deciding on charitable organizations. Business plan in its final stages. Website waiting on a programmer. Business cards, postcards, catalogs. Initial funding still on hold. A whirlwind of activity, anxiety, anticipation. As we speed up, our "ride" is purely focused on Him. We trust He's leading us on this venture to build His kingdom. Kissing chrome, crouched low, tucked in, no drag. He's in control, clearing the path...at 100 miles per hour, we're on His race as the wheels are spinning...
