Holy crap, we leave on our bike trip in 3 days! YIKES!!
Up until now, the plans have been just ... well, plans. I've been dreaming of doing a trip like this for so long that it's never really seemed like something that would actually happen. I've poured over the maps practically everyday for the past month; I know them like the back of my hand. The distances seemed like nothing to me ... until I sat down with my parents today at lunch to discuss the route. Suddenly, spouting off the daily ride distances - 70 miles, 83 miles, 91 miles, 100 miles - seemed quite long to me, and for a brief moment I thought to myself "What the frick are you doing?! You can't be serious!!"
And yet I have never been more serious about anything else in my life. I know there'll be days when I don't feel like riding and can't stand the sight of my bike, but I also know that I love challenges. I'm a pretty stubborn person when I need to be, and quitting is definitely NOT an option on this trip.
3 days til departure. I'll post the nitty-gritty details sometime during that time span.
