Team Enjoy the Ride hammered it. As forecasted, a couple of small cells passed through overnight, bringing thunder and hard rain. I was fine and cozy in my tent and sleeping bag, but oh man was it wet outside when I emerged the next morning in the dark. I’d forgotten to bring my doormat in […]

I find myself saying this a lot these days, but I can’t believe it’s almost over. Today was the penultimate day of riding, tonight the last night in camp.
