Officially done with work and checked in to our hotel, ready to get some sleep before our freakishly early flight out of Columbus. So many feelings going on right now. Excited, anxious, wide awake, tired, hoping we didn’t forget anything, absolutely sure that we probably did. Looking forward to seeing friends and family along the ride, but definitely will be missing everyone at home. Worried about the kitties, but know they’ll be well cared for. Looking forward to escaping the every day and living a little simpler, but realizing that means I only have 5 shirts to choose from for 8 weeks. Hoping our bikes survive the flight, dreading the reassembly process. Glad we’ll have a few days in Portland warm up the legs and test the bikes out. Watch for prep posts over the next few days!
