As I look out the window of the plane, I can't believe I actually bicycled across the country. It is an incredible amount of miles. The next time you all get in a plane, think of me bicycling my heart out with my short chubby legs to reach each daily destination. Someday I will sit down and try to figure out how much water I drank, how many power bars, bananas, & PBJ's I ate, how much sunscreen I gooped on and how much butt cream I used.
I do know that I had two flats on the entire trip, both on the same day, one in the front and one on the back. One gal made it across without a flat and the record number was tied at 11. We climbed about 76,000 vertical feet and rode almost 3,100 miles.
I haven't time yet to process this trip, what it has meant to me, what I have learned about myself as well as others, what I won't miss about the trip and what I will miss. Let me gather my thoughts and I will post them as soon as I can.
