Five points of interest

ONE: Several people have asked me what the schedule is going to be over the ride. I have honestly been avoiding knowing what the schedule is, because I am kind of, well, overwhelmed by it. So thanks, inquiring minds, for making me face reality. My eye is twitching. Hope you're happy.

The Ride:
June 4--Opening Ceremonies: The Cow Palace, to Camp 1 Harvey West Park, Santa Cruz--79.3 miles

June 5--Camp 2 San Lorenzo County Park, King City--105.4 miles

June 6--Camp 3 Mid State Fairgrounds, Paso Robles--75.2 miles

June 7--Camp 4 Preisker Park, Santa Maria--98.7 miles

June 8--Camp 5 River Park, Lompoc--43.5 miles

June 9--Camp 6 San Buenaventura State Beach, Ventura--84.1 miles

June 10--Closing Ceremonies: VA Center, Los Angeles (near Brentwood)--60.8 miles

TWO: My nephew has graciously agreed to care for my pets during this time period.

THREE: I do not know what the deal is with showers. This is yet another thing I am avoiding looking into.

FOUR: No, I am not going alone. Apart from the thousands of others I will meet on this journey, I will know a couple people on the ride-- in fact, people I work with. You think I'm dedicated? HA! One guy is flying in from North Carolina to be a part of this crazy action.

FIVE: I think that anybody can do this. Anything seems overwhelming at first, but given time, most tasks feel manageable. Unless, of course, you're a horrendous procrastinator such as myself, in which case most things send you to the brink of "overwhelmingness" (is too a word, Harrison.)
