And finally it begins

Great Divide Mountain Bike Route tour, day 1, July 16, 2023

I woke up with a feeling of nervousness and excitement and dread of leaving Erika and Ming for two months. We packed up our camp and headed off for Whitefish to meet Jen and family for lunch before Jen and I were delivered to our tour.

I never went to camp as a kid but this is what it must feel like. I got my tent set up for the night, we said our goodbyes and then it was off to the orientation meeting.
