All good things must come to an end, and that's exactly how this tour ended. With all of us wanting a few days more, just a few more miles, just a few more hilarious nights filled with word games and stories. Facing another blazing hot day, we were up by 5:30 am and rolled out before 7 am to beat the heat. We had a fairly uninteresting flat 30 miles to cover from Dayville to John Day, which was made more interesting by bumping into a lovely couple bike touring to New York. Turns out they were both from the Washington DC area and quit their jobs to bike...

There is a lovely sense of support and camaraderie that I can't put my finger on, but that certainly exists in a way with this group of women that I've never had when touring with guys. That's not to say one is better than the other, but that it's just different and special. And maybe it will never exist in this way again... except that I have a feeling this will not be our last bike tour together.
