Final Thoughts

I've been home a month now, a busy month. I didn't have any "re-entry into the real world" problems. I used Picasa Books and turned by blog into a photo journal, and I'm really pleased with it. It will be a great "memory saver" of our amazing trip. After riding almost 2000 miles on my bicycle, I FELL OFF it during our club's July 4 Mini-Triathlon, and broke my forearm. I wore the rubber off the heels of my shoes on our trip, and when I put my foot down to stop, my shoe slipped and I fell. I knew my shoes were slippery, but just had not taken time to replace them. BIG mistake, riding with unsafe gear! It costs me six weeks off the bike.
After all the complaining I did about our tour being too long, I'm already thinking that I still want to ride coast-to-coast. I've been on the computer, checking out cross country tours. My clock is ticking, you know, so if I'm going to do it, it needs to be NEXT summer!
I've added photos of all the riders on our tour so you can see them again, individually. It was a great trip with an amazing group of women. Thanks again for following along with me.
