Washington DC

We made it all the way. I suppose this entry could also be called, Cape Henlopen, Delaware since that was our final biking destination, but as we are in DC it seems fitting to call such.

We are meeting at the Washington Monument in a little over an hour to go out to dinner as a team. Don and JoAnn have already left. Things keep moving forward but I am thankful for the time that we have here to be together.

I does not seem like we are finished. I keep saying that I think we should be starting to bike across the USA any day now. I know we have been together and I know that we have been riding bikes, but I still feel separated from the scope of what we have done. It just seems like I rode my bike without sleeping and while eating lots and lots of turkey sandwiches for a lot of days in a row.

Sometimes I think of specific places we have been and it seems like a different experience altogether. So much has happened in the past 7 weeks. Remember when we were in Dallas?! Hope, AZ? Quemado, NM?

Mindy and I were talking about the way this has become normal. Our bizarre lifestyle has become just that, our lifestyle and we roll with it. For some people there has been a moment where things click, but for myself it has been a gradual shift into Riding:Well. We wondered whether or not things will click back in the coming days or if we will gradually shift back to a life of normal routines, work and everyday life.
