Sunday, June 7th: I am at a crossroads. I am scheduled to leave on my bicycle adventure through 8 states NEXT Sunday, June 8th. My bike is in the shop and I will not get it back until Thursday or Friday. Therefore I will need to do some cross training to keep my strength up. Also, I have been experiencing back pain for a while. It comes and goes but this time it came out of no where. A week ago I was enjoying 30-mile rides in the nice weather. Now, I am bike less with random ailments. Isn't life grand?
You may be wondering if I am going to do the trip. OF COURSE! I am still planning to leave next Sunday. Plans can change obviously, but that is my plan as of now. That is mostly because someone is going to be meeting me on my fourth evening out. I can't drop out now because he will be joining my adventure.
My prayer is for God to heal my back and other ailments that may bother me such as my knee and Achilles and that my bike will be returned to me is due time and in working order and that I will begin this amazing trip in good spirits and as strong as can be.
Only one week to go...it seems like only yesterday when I came back from riding the Pacific Coast.
Perfect Circles await!
