It's the morning of our final day, at long last, and I have some good news.
Joy made the cue sheet for today, and was able to knock our mileage down to only 13!!! Which means we aren't getting on the road until 11:30, haha. Some people are still sleeping. I'm going to sit around trying not to go insane thinking about the inevitable.

I can relate to ruffled feathers, but hot damn, you did it! Who cares about a few dents in the bike [sorry about the ones in you, though :-( ] But all the bad stuff will fade in time and you will remember this as one of the coolest things you ever did! I salute you Sean, really really really well done! Woot!
