Departure day is coming soon and I've been incredibly busy getting ready. I've never gone through this much trouble getting ready for any other trip. But then, I've never had so much to get ready, either. The house is together, finally. Sorta. New deck, irrigation rebuilt, yadda yadda. Financial affairs are in order, or will be. And I've spent a ton of money on new toys for the trip. GoPro movie camera, new still camera, tent, all kinds of cool crap. For as much energy, money and time that this trip has cost me so far, I'd better damn well have a blast! I don't see how it won't be.
I fly on May 5th - Cinco de Mayo. Continental flight 6038, landing in Frankfurt, 9:45am Thursday.
10 days ago or so, I did a training ride in the county. I'd almost forgotten how much fun the roads are in SD County. Here's a link:
