Hurry up and wait is what has been happening all day and we prepare to leave. There will be flurry of checking in and activity as we prepare bodies and bicycles to leave tonight - last minute organizing, grocery shopping and packing the RV. The schedule of riders and drivers has been drawn up for the next few days and everyone is resting and, I think, wondering about what is to come. It feels to me that once we are over the Rocky Mountains, it will be easier because both the mountains and desert will be behind us and we will be headed more quickly towards familier terrain. We hope to pull out as close to 6:00PM as possible. Clementine is ready. I am not sure that I am.
