Do you ever ask yourself "Am I ready for this"? "Did I do enough to get ready"? I am about to go on my first tour and I am a little nervous. Keep asking myself all these ? I need to do some deep breathing.I am hoping I have fun. I just don't know? I love to bike! I really do!

Oh, Brandi, enjoy! I sure understand how you're feeling -- dare I mention that besides the training part, I'd be wondering if I packed everything?
I'm looking forward to hearing about your trip! I've got DH, who claims that the only reason to bike is to get in shape for ski season, thinking that a biking vacation/tour someday would be mighty nice. Probably not for a couple of years yet, though, since it needs plenty of advance planning!
(and I bet your upcoming tour is what made ME think that a bike tour would be a great vacation, so thank you!!!!)

Ahhh thanks! And yes it does take a lot of preperation. I saved my list of the stuff i packed. When I get back, if my list worked i will post it with I am sure a few corrections on what i should and shouldn't have brought. I even have toe warmerfor inside my shoes. Only one set so i hope it's not cold. I figure you can make most anything with duck! tape!

Brandi - of course I oftentimes ask myself those very same questions....and a few others like....can we really afford this? *small voice in head answers: YEAH yeah!*.
Seriously though, it is perfectly natural. I am almost certain after the first day on the tour, when you are done riding, you'll be asking yourself a different question:
Why didn't I do this sooner?~!
You'll be fine, believe in yourself and know that the jitters and questions are perfectly normal.
