Epi-ride (Epilogue if it was a book)

Dave and I drove home yesterday at a decent hour and arrived home at a decent which allowed me to get a decent nights sleep.  I did keep waking up from my sleep yelling, "NO, I won't eat any more dehydrated food!"  I am ready to return to work this morning and get back to real life.  Oh well.  What did I learn from this ride?

1. You just have to trust Garmin sometimes.
2. You don't need to take as much as you think you need.
3. Extra water bottles are never too heavy.
4. I hate sunblock and it never works anyway.
5. I still get a kick out of riding my bike, even bikes named Barney.
6. Life is still a road we travel and even though we have ups and downs we seem to survive both.

To Dave:  Thanks for the ride, it was fun.  Next time we will do things a little differently.  Like, I will pack for you!  Thanks for teaching me how much nourishment can easily be found in a Ziploc bag.  I can't complain about any of the meals we made out there.  I think that when we do our X-country ride we will actually do better if we train first!!

Until our next adventure, Ciao

P.S. Dave, didn't I tell you about the trip I want to plan in August?  First we will......and then........  Anybody want to join us? HeeeeHeeee
