The last day! It went by so fast. The riding today was amazing as always. We rode past McAfee’s Knob - I need to go and hike there someday. I got to ride a lot with Caleb (the lawyer from Kentucky) and he explained how depositions work to me; it was pretty fascinating. It’s a much more human process than I thought at first.

The most important thing to mention here, dear Reader, is that I’ve canceled the leg of my trip going to Scotland. In the end, the risk of ending up stuck there and not being able to start school on time was simply too much to handle. I’m really looking forward to just getting home and getting ready for school, and working on my Master’s degree.

Today we had a great rest stop where Don made us tacos and we just sat around shooting the shit. After we got to the Strubles’ house, they made us some food and then we headed out to a brewery near Salem and ordered Mexican food. It felt really nice; just hanging out with a group of good friends. My bike friends over the years have slowly removed the “bike” part and now they are just friends. And the Colorado Burrito was really good.

So, one adventure ends, and another begins. I’ve decided I’m going to keep blogging, at least for a while until school starts. I may skip some days in the middle where not too much happens, but for now, we’ll keep things going.
