Back to the "Real" World


After a week of riding my bicycle through the wilderness of the Great Allegheny Passage and the historic C&O Canal trail it's kind of weird to come back to the "real" world. The funny thing to me, is the 335 miles my cyclocomputer clocked over 6 days seemed pretty "real" to me. I saw things over the past week that I honestly didn't thing I would ever see, nor did I even know exist. I saw towns where battles that shaped our country were fought, I saw one of the biggest wonders of the modern world, I saw some of the most beautiful areas in the country, and I saw the nation's capital with my own two eyes. Now I'm trying to swallow the idea of driving back to Springfield and going back to work and school. Sometimes there just isn't enough time to soak it all in.

**Update, if you would like to see some more pics of the trip you can go here.
