Toute Seule
One more day!
Things have changed a bit in the past few days. It turns out my riding partner is going in a different direction (and at a different time) so I am going to be all alone. This was quite a shocker, but I'm going to go with it and start out with a little more fear and excitement than I might otherwise have.
As a woman I greatly admire told me: "even though there may not be anyone riding with you, know you are not alone."
I am incredibly lucky to be supported by many amazing people!
My room is packed, most of my possessions donated, and I am now in a bare room with two boxes and my bike. Now that time is so short, I've been meeting lots of people in preparation to leave-- previous cross-US cyclists, my major advisor, friends, supporters... Phew! Throw in planning a route, last minute prep, finals, and packing everything up and that's one exhausted girl! I can't wait to get on the road just so I can relax and sleep a little.
Tomorrow: mail home my boxes and antsily dance around campus remembering last-minute details and hugging everyone goodbye.
