The Worst & Best Day Yet!
It's pretty late right now. Normally, getting to bed around midnight is considered early for me, but when you're on the road pushing nearly 600 miles of non-stop riding through all the sorts of weather mother nature throws at you and then getting up at the buttcrack of dawn the next morning only to do it all over again, midnight suddenly seems late to be putting my thoughts together for a blog.
There is so much I need to share with you about today's adventures that I don't know where to start and I'm afraid I may not have the energy to put it all down in words, so forgive me if I end up posting this without getting it all out.
Suffice it to say that today started as the absolute worst day of this trip and the antithesis of our whole Ride A2B philosophy only to end up being the most incredible, inspiring story yet that is at the very core of what this is all about.
Let me at least explain that I arrived safely in Portland, Oregon and I am now writing not from a hotel room or a relative's place, but from the home of a couple who, before this afternoon, were complete strangers. Karson and Peter are now on their own 10-day adventure without me. Hopefully, we'll hear from them as they progress. But don't hold your breath as they are without a laptop.

Okay, enough about them - back to me. I'm going to bed. Sorry for making this a teaser. But hang in there and I'll post pictures and all the juicy details shortly!
