So close!

The excitement is here! After a quick presentation at Synod yesterday and a couple of hours of wrestling my bike into a box, I and fellow (fortunate) Grand Rapids residents were able to drop off their bikes at the Sea to Sea truck. I already feel the loss of my favorite form of transportation--I don't like being so dependent on my car to do my last minute errands, but I know this means the trip starts soon! Although I never doubted this trip would happen, there is quite a different feeling between the day I took a picture of my bike in the snow and yesterday with all the piles of camping gear and bike boxes. Getting a peek at the warehouse gave me a glimpse of the tremendous amount of work that has gone into this event.
