With one week to go, I am getting very excited. The bike has arrived in Seattle. I am going to finish packing this weekend. I will be ready to go. The last couple of weeks have gotten me thinking about what it will be like. There are only a couple of concerns at this point and they are pretty silly. The first is that I will be sleeping in a tent for seven weeks. I am not a camper by any stretch of the imagination. My biggest camping and living in a tent trip was two nights. This is going to be seven weeks! The other thought that is going around in my head is that I will have to use public restrooms for seven weeks. I know that is kind of weird to be thinking about at a time like this, but that is about all that I am tossing around in my head. I know after a couple of days, those won't even be issues because I will be having fun enjoying the ride and the beautiful experience. I can't wait!

I love your comment about the fear of an "extended camping trip". I did the BRAA in 2004. Just FYI... in 8 weeks from now you will be wishing you were sleeping in a tent again,listening to the wind, smelling the dirt, and sleeping so soundly....and you will be wondering what you are doing in a normal bed.. thinking it may not be so normal anymore. Gosh how I wish I reliving those 7 glorious weeks! Good luck to you and your fellow riders! You will look back and be proud!
