I am quite proud of my physical abilities that allowed me to do this ride but I am very appreciative of the many people who kept in touch and commented and gave encouragement along the way. Very, very appreciative! The solitary nature of the ride was a greater challenge than the ride itself and that support made a big difference. I enjoyed the ride, the varied towns, cities, shorelines and countrysides. I loved to push myself fairly hard on days when I was feeling energetic or a desirable destination was in reach. It was particularly rewarding to spend time with my cousin Sharon and her husband John and my Uncle Jim and Aunt Angie. This ride started as a whim but my instincts were good. As a final surprise a fellow at WestJet check in decided, after we chatted about my acomplisment, to upgrade me to "plus" class. (I. E. The scotch is free) "cheers!"
Well done Allie , you should be proud of this accomplishment. Now you can relax completely as it's finally over.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed seeing you, it had been awhile and we had a good visit.
Take care and say hi to the family for us.

Way to go sis! You continue to capture and share the feeling of your trip in your beautifully written words. Pics are a bonus! Nice that you could be with uncle Jim on Fathers day.
