The Road to PBP (and other stuff)

My sister wrote this poem for Justin a few posts back and I figure it’s just too brilliant to stay hidden in the comments. Pass it on to your favorite randonneur!

Justin dear, you freakish guy,
One really has to wonder why
A fella’d want to bike so far
When he could get there in a car.
But since you chose this crazy goal
We will support you heart and soul.
(We never will abandon yer
Cuz you’re our favorite randonneur!)
You dream big dreams and make them real
We think that rocks, and so we feel
So proud (and if you made it there
Then you can make it anywhere).
So if you listen deep inside
You’ll hear us cheering as you ride.
We’re crossing fingers, crossing toes,
And steering for you as you doze.
We’re sending love and peppy talk,
Go kick some butt! (love, Mark and Ak.)
