Back at home after not having an access to a computer for our week in Disney, I will attempt to remember the final day...
With giddy anticipation, I was ready to ride at 6:55 but it was not light enough to go until 7:20. I was hoping for a 35 mile ride in which i was actually going to beat Sandy to our resort at Disney (she kept boosting that she gave me a two week head start and she still beat me down there). Turned out to be only 68 miles (ONLY!?!...my, my, my it's amazing how my perspective has changed). I did not anticipate the amount of hills in central Florida (more than all the previous days combined!). Plus when I came off map in order to get directly to our resort (I googlemap it!) I got helplessly lost. So Sandy was actually sitting by the pool when I got there. But I got there.
I did run into more cyclists today (probably due to the bike fest in Mt. Dora) than any other day combined, several of which allowed me to ride with them, 'pulling' me along. It was good to see other cyclist but I wish more of them would wave or acknowledge my existence.
The trip was fabulous. Could not have scripted it much better (maybe less traffic, less wind, less heat and at least one more partner).
I am already planning the second annual...hope you can go with me this time.
Kudos to all the people that helped me before I left as well as along the way.
Huge kudos to my wife for off-the-scale support (emotionally, financially, office-wise...).
Life is GREAT.
