I’ve been so bad about this!  I really wish I would have done it more –

regrets:

  • didn’t blog more
  • didn’t train enough (although that doesn’t matter now, but it would have made the first half of the trip less of a body breaker)
  • invested more in a seat

because… i had terrrrible nether region issues earlier, til i took the seat of another woman on the trip.  but the other day her seat broke in a freak accident and she had to take her old one back.  sooo i was stuck with a male seat, which is too narrow for female sit bones and alllll wrong.  THEN when we got to OREGON today, I found a bike shop in Ontario with the hugest sale ever and got a Dulce women specific seat for $22

SUCCESSSSS

and I’m in Oregon! And in the mail drop today I got the Lizzy Ross album from my dad!!!!!!

AND I’M SO EXCITED ABOUT LIFE I WANT TO SHOUT TO THE MOUNTAIN TOPS (they know my voice) LIKE “HELLO, AMERICA.  IT’S ME, RALEIGH.  I HAVE ALMOST BIKED ACROSS YOU.”

I’m excited for Cannon Beach, for family, for grandparents who love me, for Portland, Eugene, and the Oregon Coast, for home.  Oh, goodness, I am so excited for home.
