Arun and I arrived safely in LA. The bikes are already packed up and I look forward to being on the road home. Meow, says my little kitty. My lips have little bumps all over them because I am allergic to the sunscreen ingredients.

I will unlikely do the Ride again next year. Perhaps it is too close to the finish line to make that determination. There are too many riders is my main feedback.

Did the ride change my life? Yes. Why? Because I chose to be a little more healthy and exercise long term. I will take the cycling lessons into my next training plan. Did I find "the answer"? No, but there were some very insightful moments and internal messages. Mostly about my tendency to worry. I will continue with another post later today.
