So, this is me biking across the country

Nobody in our group does.  It usually takes a good while of talking amongst ourselves to find out the day of the week (and forget about the date…that’s asking too much).  In general, I can tell you it’s August, but how far away from September we are is beyond me.  In some respects, its cool being that much on vacation that you don’t even know about the time scale of the rest of the world…our ‘weeks’ become segments of cycling days and rest days, and progress is by a map, and not project deadlines, exams, or other pressing things.
