Overall our trip was everything we expected and more. It provided sunny uphills and exhilarating downhills, severe winds and a day of rain. Bike traveling like this takes you to nooks and crannies that don’t get the attention that their beauty deserves. Many times a day I was amazed at what I conquered up or withstood going down. There was long stretches of contemplation, or just being with the road, and letting all worries subside. This is what I consider spending quality time with your partner and with yourself.
