Where has the time gone?

It seems like yesterday we were so excited when we rolled under 100 days until we start our ride! Then is was was, 50 days till we ride! 30! 20! and right now as I sit here righting this we are 15 days out!

15 days! What does that look like? Well it looks like 9 days of work left! 2 more training rides! 1 trip to Bicycle Vibe for a new chain, and quick tune up. It means that list of things to do at home before I leave for FL still needs to be completed!

So now what? I will do all I can in the next 15 days to continue to prepare myself for this ride. At this point it is mainly mental. How will I feel after 4 days on the bike? 10 days? 25 days on the bike. Not sure, not sure that I care to be honest with you, I have my eyes on the prize right now and I am only heading to FL with one goal in mind. Dipping my front tire in Pacific ocean after 3,100 miles!

Until then I plan on spending as much free time with my wife and kids as I can! soak up all the additional hugs and kisses from my little men so that I have those memory to carry with my from FL to AZ when I see them again.

Am I ready? Yes I am! One day at a time we will make it!
