There was fog again this morning when we headed out for our 48 mile ride. Within the first few miles the fog was on my glasses as well as in the air so I stopped to remove them. The beauty of riding in the fog is that you can only see a short distance down the road in front of you. Not seeing what lies ahead you are forced to ride in the present moment. If there is a hill or a section with heavy traffic or no shoulder you don't know it until you get to it. So you just ride it and don't waste energy fretting over it. I loved the ride today. Even though the fog lifted about half way through the tone for the ride had been set and stayed with me to the end.
Tomorrow is our last rest day on this journey across the country. Although there is excitement about finishing most of us are also pretty tired from the past 8 weeks of sustained effort. We need this day off our bicycles and off the road. Four more days of riding and we will be in St. Augustine! I wonder what that will be like?
