So I'm sitting here with the rain falling outside and I'm trying to NOT think about my upcoming ride. I travel light and have everything I need packed and/or ready. Putting new tires on this week. Other than that, the Viffer is ready. In fact, it stares at me every time we go out for a short excursion. As if to say, wtf was that? I honestly go through this anticipation before every ride. But somehow, this one is different. I'm primarily a solo rider. I have been on plenty of long distance/multi-day rides with groups ranging from 3 to 12. Quite honestly, I prefer 3 or less.
But the anticipation for this ride is somehow different. Although my trip will take me to, and allow me to see, areas I've never experienced before, this one is different. I think the idea of meeting people I've supported, cajoled, berated, shared, consoled & ridiculed; but never met, is exciting for me.
I look forward to meeting and talking to each and everyone in a couple of weeks.
