I can’t say enough about how thankful I am to Auntly H for spearheading this, and for getting me back on my bike after 10+ years. I have had so much fun riding so far, and am really looking forward to the ride tomorrow. But the riding does not stop tomorrow, and for that I owe Auntly H much more.
I have to admit that I am feeling a lot of emotions tonight. I’m a bit anxious and nervous. I am excited and tired. I am full of thanks and appreciation. I need to go to sleep and rest up for an early departure tomorrow.
I have a lot I want to talk about regarding this ride, but I just don’t have the time I need tonight. I will be writing in my head as I’m pedaling around 28 miles of the metro area, and promise to write it all down “quick fast in a hurry” once I can comfortably sit down again…
Seriously though – you see all the “X’s” in that jersey size? Still doesn’t fit. That, my friends, is a(nother) sign that things need to change for me. I’m going to bike my way into a comfortable fit for next year’s ride.
