What My email Said: | Retrospective: |
45 miles,8 of them up a 7% grade, 3 of them
down a 7% grade-no brakes! 9 miles of unpaved road under construction-eek! Virginia City & Nevada City are amazing Old West towns IN THEIR ORIGINAL STATE!! Really neat. Today's big news is that my dad finally felt good enough to leave Hawaii and join me. He and my aunt & uncle are currently on the road looking for me. I expect we'll meet up tonight. |
There's a bit of a sad commentary that will eventually
inhabit these pages regarding my dad's arrival: See, on this here bike trip I had taken up smoking again, but not officially telling anyone - in other words, I was trying to hide it. From my aunt and uncle, from my dad. So, insane as it sounds, this day was filled with little moments of actual fear (terror?) as I smoked by the side of the road and worried that any passing car might indeed be my relatives. This is a 39 year old, mind you. |
