20th Annual Bicycle Hot Trek 250:
The night before our trip to San Antonio we were given the rules of ridding on FM 281. The group left Roselawn Cemetery at 8:00am after a prayer to Jolie Ann and Sarah Ximena Perez. Miracle Riders Bicycle team hosted a benefit ride was to bring awareness of a rare blood disease that took two small sisters.
We exited McAllen by way of Jackson Rd., then 107 and onto 281. Sports Federation provide "SAG" for the group heading North and food. Every twenty five miles we rested and pushed on till our next stop. The trip had its share of mishaps but nothing major; one lady took a spill early in the ride becaus of loose stone by the shoulder. Another rider had five flats and had to borrow from other riders that had spares. When we reached the centinial marker everyone celibrated that we had 100 mile under our belt. The wind was picking up and some riders became weary and had to load bike onto trucks. We came into Alice, our group was riding around town lost. I told Jesse i'm ready to call it quits by the time I turned to ask him if he was going to continue; he was loading his bike.
I found myself having to continue because other riders wanting to press on. The sign declared 15 miles to Lake Corpus Christi and I was running out of gas; It was 5:00pm and I had been on a small seat. My butt was hurting and any where I positioned myself was painful.

I road in the State Park and cood smell the food. After a great meal I showered and headed home. I had completed my goal and had participated for a good cause.
