Day 0 - Friday June 12, 2009

Day 0

Well, I'm as ready as I'll ever be.
My bike is ready, well at least I think it is, but I'll find out otherwise later.
All I need do is get a good night's rest, wake up at 5:40 AM, Shower and GO!

You know it's times like these that seem to make the mind wander. As I was getting things ready for tomorrow morning I was deliberately slowing things down. All day I had been racing around, working at my job, of course, but also trying to take care of all the little things I needed to do before the ride began. So as it grew darker outside I slowed down and put things in there place, not because I'm overly organized, but because if I didn't, I'd definitely forget something.
So I put out my clothes , packed the few things I would bring with me. Double checked my water bottle, changed over to my traveling wallet (money Health card, and 1 piece of ID only), and turned out the lights.
In bed, looking up at the ceiling, things were moving very slow, it was very quiet and ominous.
Kind of like the rise of the car on a roller coaster, the closer to the top you get the slower it is, then for a brief second everything stops, then all of a sudden........................................................









BEEP,BEEP, BEEP - IT'S 5:41 AM
