2016 TransAm/Western Express Day 62 - San Francisco, CA

I only have a few moments to blog; today, like yesterday, is going to be a whirlwind.  I know that it should feel like I completed some big thing, a sense of accomplishment - and I do have that, yes, but I think I feel something even better and more useful, which is a real change.  A change in lifestyle, a change in attitude.  It doesn't feel like so much an ending as a beginning, or at least a middle part.  Today I will be back on my bike, just to get errands done in SF, and then drive up to Portland, where I have two days of interlude and then we get started all over again!  I will miss my TransAm crew so very much, but - and I know this sounds cheesy - I honestly feel like I am now carrying them all inside me somewhere as I ride.  It's a good feeling, and even more so I think it's a feeling I can build on as I remake my life around the things and people that I care about.  It was great to hang out with everybody yesterday and party and have dinner and eat Bob's Donuts and just see people interact in the "real world" as themselves.  I loved it, and I can't wait to see all of them again!
