Six Months is a Long Way Off - But My Bike & I Still Have Great Conversations...
I grew up in really small towns.
Circle Back, Texas: Population 4.
McCamey, Texas: Population 2500.
Veribest, Texas: Population 16
These west Texas towns are mere dots lost on the maps, off rural roads and an hour away from a supermarket.
The schools I attended were respectively small, and all of us were bussed in from the farms. Miles separated us. Playdates were only on birthdays.

I was reading you blog and thought of two things. One, I'm thoroughly excited for you (and the rest of the team) to experience the Tour. Two, you should read the book Bike for Life:How to Ride to 100. I was the mechanic on last year's tour, and this book taught me a TON about long distance riding, and riding in general. You'll love it.
Be richly blessed!
Peace,
