Pretty basic day of riding, not much to report. It was a short day and mostly along the highway. It was a bit rainy today, not much more than a drizzle but enough to convince me to end it short.
I did go to a grocery store and was definitely shopping hungry. Bread, cheese, milk, yogurt, fruit all these things that you don't get at a gas station. Basically just ate all day after checking into a hotel. Luxury.
The big thing about today though was that I've officially altered my plan and am throwing in the towel. I'm just losing a bit of my mustard and don't think I have the time or the energy to conquer the desert and mountains. I dreamed big but will fall short of my 5000 mile goal.
The new plan is that I'll be going to Austin to check it out then blast down to San Antonio to visit cousin. From there I'll hop a train to somewhere outside of San Diego and just ride the huge downhill into town to see sister. From there grab a flight home near the end of the month. I feel good about it, should be more like 3000 miles which is probably more my speed. Whatever the case I feel good about this new plan, I'm excited to have the finish line move much closer.
