I'm sitting at Savannah airport having just said goodbye to some very close friends. It's interesting how I have only known the crew and riders from Pac Tour for a month but I feel like I have known them for many years now.
Last night, we had a team banquet which also included a slide show of hundreds of photos and everyone was presented with a finishers plaque. We all gave a speech too. It's amazing how close we all became over the month. So, while I am excited to head back home to see all my Portland friends, see my cat and sleep in my own bed, I am filled with a sense of loss too. I'm not sure I'm ready to return to real life just yet. Work tomorrow morning... ugh.
The slide show brought back many memories that I feel like I had already forgotten. Sometimes when you are in the middle of something, you don't realize how big it is as you are constantly living for the current moment. It also made me realize that it will probably take me some time to process the enormity of what I've achieved.
I would like to say thank you to all the Pac Tour crew for making it possible for my dream to come true. I would also like to extend a warm hug to all my new close friends I've enjoyed spending the last month with. I know we will see each other again. Take care young and old Greg's, Dan and Brian, Jeanine and Lori, Russell, Jay, Jason, Eleonore, Walt, Susan, Jonathon, Melissa, John, Katie, Neil, Bob and Tom.
Awesome Doug. Thank you for sharing your experience... quite moving (literally and figuratively)
