Hey Tom, very best wishes as you head out! I’m not sure of the etiquette — I guess saying “break a leg” would be too close to the bone. I’m dedicating my current wrecked ankle to your success on this trip, I’m with you in spirit. David S.

The storm before the calm. Hopefully. Bon vol and a good beginning on the gravel . . .

Thanks, Gerry. The bike I was hoping to get didn't materialize but I have a nice hybrid touring bike, which I got a couple of years back. I'm riding 50mm gravel tires for the gravel road so hope it will be ok.

I remember reading about the “chunky” nature of that road. Sounds like you are well equipped, despite these pregame equipment woes.

I am praying that is all that will send your HR into Zone 6 Tom. Have a great trip.

Hagit, thanks so much for the well wishes. I made it to the airport! Line ups are crazy but I got through security. Have some great rides this summer.
