Joys that outweigh the pain

It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves“. Edmund Hilary.

P1010578

Mountains lie ahead of me, and I guess it’s not just them I have to conquer but my fears about the whole trip, and how it will be, and how I will feel about it all.  But “fear is the mind killer“…maybe there is nothing to fear but fear itself, and when it is gone, there will be nothing, and I will remain? We’ll find out soon enough… 😉

First things first though.  Bike is (finally!) in the box, but the packing is not done.  Half way there…just as well we don’t leave until Friday then 😉
