“It was too easy to say yes once Alisa gets ahold of your heart by truly listening to your stories. It was meant to happen and I couldn’t wait to get this journey started and meet this chick. As we sit in the “meet and greet” riders meeting on day 1, we all have to get up and introduce ourselves. As I sat and listened to Alisa tell her story, introducing amazing women during “roll call”, it was my turn. When we made eye contact for the first time, the smile and acceptance was real. I knew right then that this woman was going to take care of us and make this an epic, life changing adventure!
