    Congrats on your ride!!! I loved the write-up, and now *I* want to do it!!! You can camp along the way, can't you? Or is it only B&B's? I guess I need to do my research. I'm all about getting away from cars and really enjoying the quiet of nature.

    Here are the lessons I've learned from your trip:
    1. ride East to West since you had a headwind most of the way (although riding the opposite way will insure there will be a headwind the other direction, too).
    2. ride East to West since it felt like you rode slightly uphill the whole way (does that mean riding it the opposite way of you will feel like you have a slight downhill the whole way- or do you think part of it was the packed trail making the extra work?)
    3. look forward to *lots* of solitude and peace (woo hoo!!!!!)

    I'm so excited and happy for you! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us! I'll just bet someone will be inspired and try the Katy because of your blog!
