I am really too tired to
write. It is the lamest excuse I know but suddenly it hit me. The last couple
of weeks have been so intense that I haven’t really allowed my head to relax.
Maps, pack lists, bike repairs and modifications. Pack and unpack. How much can
you fit on a bike trailer? I could write a list and tell you if you want.
But now we can no longer
change anything. Whatever is in this car heading south towards Italy is all we
have to play with for the next few weeks. And the first thing that has to be
sacrificed when doing something like this is vanity. The only luxury is seeing
all the cool places we will be riding through, not what is packed in the
trailers. Things get dirty fast and smelly even faster. You just have to accept
it. We estimate that we will average about 100km (about 60 miles) per day. So
taking days off means we have to ride more the rest of the days.
I am sure that in about a
week from now I will look back a my lame excuse today and wish I could slap
myself over the head while I redefine what being tired means.
Ok, go to wake up. Might as
well take another look at those maps and pack lists…
