Epilogue...

I know I'll have random thoughts about this whole thing over the next few weeks, and will just keep adding them here. It was a very nice, physically challenging, and satisfying trip, and I'll leave it at that for now.

The good:
1. No flats
2. 10 miles of rain riding out of 350
3. Didn't have to walk any hills
4. This bike is a huge improvement over what I had been riding.
5. The amazing shower truck
6. Most of the people were really great

The bad:
1. The seat on this bike is horrible and needs to be replaced.
2. 10 miles of rain riding
3. The dinner cruise.
4. Meals and rest stops in the wrong direction.
5. Porta-potties for 400+
6. Whiners who complained about every little thing (like I'm doing now!)
