Melalvai's epic cycling adventure

I enjoyed reading the blog and can't wait for the full report.

I survived!!!

In retrospect that is a funny line, "the easiest 82 miles I've ever ridden", but at the time it was just so true!

I kept a journal and will start posting it on the blog as I find time. I estimate it'll take about 2 months to cover the 11 days--about how long it felt like!

Thanks for all the support! There were a lot of really difficult times but two days ago I was already saying "Wow, I can do ANYTHING."

Great job!

Knowing now what you didn't know then, would you still do it?

It's a good thing I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I would never have done it! And I admit I don't expect to do anything quite like this again. I'm thinking it might be fun to do something with MUCH lower daily mileage, and with company.

I'm not sorry I did it. I really do believe "I can do anything"!

Well I still say that about getting my PhD.

congrats, what a great accomplishment your ride was. I do think that if I ever did anything remotely like that, I would HAVE to have company.

I'm really enjoying the updates and the pics. I know what you mean about becoming bored with the Katy trail. Keep the updates coming!
