Pressing On: The Agony

by Jackie*

On the road the bike wheels turn,

Your helmet is strapped and your body feels the burn,

And the reason you press on, the reason you ride

Is because God is using you to bless our lives.

 

We’ve walked out of abuse… pain… drug addiction…

We’ve left false freedom to find the Gift that was hidden.

Still we struggle; we face trials of all kinds.

But now it is different; we want to leave the darkness behind.

We steered away from the choices that led to destruction

And ran full force toward the road that promised something:

God’s Gift of Love.

 

So though the road may seem long and wide,

The reason you press on, the reason you ride

Is for the teens who came with tears in their eyes

Wanting a change, wanting better for their lives.

The reason you press on mile on mile by day and night

Is you’re pressing on showing us the love of Christ.

 

*(Every Agony rider received an encouragement note at rider check-in from one of the Ranch students. 

This is the note Jackie wrote for Amber Tippett.)

No Agony without help from hundreds of friends

Loyalton, Vinton, and a quiet corner of cow pasture on Highway A-24 teemed with bicycles, motorcycles, ham radio operators, and a couple hundred crimson-shirted volunteers as the 27th Annual Agony Bicycle Ride got underway July 24 to benefit 16-to 25-year-olds. 

Thanks to all the residents of the Sierra Valley for putting the welcome mat out for us!   We are so very grateful to Loyalton Public Works, Sierra County Public Works, and Teichert Construction for their cooperation getting the road open in front of the school just minutes before the start of the ride!  Thank you to the Loyalton Elementary School, the Vinton Grange, The Feather River Land Trust, and the barbecue crew!

Medical personnel, Nevada County Amateur Radio Operators, motorcycle roving saggers, baggage transporters, cooks, map table pin-pushers, computer operators, greeters, and massage therapists, you made it safe!  God bless you, one and all!

Agony Corporate Sponsors underwrite event expenses

The Agony Bicycle Ride brings in a good percentage of the CEM budget every year, but expenses to safely stage the ride are significant.  We’re grateful to these local businesses that contribute to help cover those costs:  B & C Home and Garden Center; Economy Pest Control; Jeremy Sanders, State Farm Insurance Agent; Gold Country Copier; and Country Copy.  Special thanks also to Caroline’s Coffee Roasters and Tour of Nevada City Bicycle Shop for their help with the event every year!
