20 miles today on my Surly Troll. I ditched the panniers and utilised Gunsection’s car. I flew without the extra weight. But it felt like cheating. I actually get pleasure from being self supported and that’s why I’m on this journey.

The reason I endevered on this cycling trip is to have a complete opposite experience of that I did on the Appalachian trail. No time limit, no set route to my destination, and no crew.

The whole idea was to do the complete opposite to what I have just done. I guess it’s a way to create balance in my life.

Getting back on the bike today after two whole zero days was interesting. I felt myself unable to settle into the ride. My mind racing ahead to the point I would meet Gun Section “GS”.

I found it hard to be in the present moment. Not really sure why. I had to catch a frerry and spoke with my buddy Big Dee over the phone. We spoke for along time about stuff, it was a great catch up. You know when there are those people in life you can be 100% truthful with.
