I had already prepared a straw man post of my opening day, anticipating the emotion. It started with the staggering number of miles between me and home. I blathered about feeling overwhelmed. I wrestled with how I was gonna do it.
When the moment actually arrived, I didn't have any of the emotions I anticipated. I was calm and matter of fact. There was a sense of peace. I simply clipped into the pedals and started. I had no sense of urgency. I simply enjoyed the moment and there was alot to enjoy.
Our campsite was perfect. Flat ground to pitch a tent...running water...a portajohn...what more can a man ask for...no wait, what is that 1 block away...a pub with a nice selection on tap...I'm gonna sleep good tonight.
