Kent, Andy and John, a family friend of Kent's and owner of a truck, came out of their way to see me in Tucson while enroute to Phoenix. It was great to see them again and talk about the race and cycling in general. We shared much of the ride but also rode alone for large sections and it was interesting how the same section could be experienced in very different ways. We all have the same post race psyche in that we jump out of bed wondering where we need to pedal to. Today I woke up horrified that I slept in until 7am and had missed two hours of riding time.
They're gone now, heading to Phoenix where Kent now lives and Andy is flying home from. The International Crew has disbanded although, as Andy mentioned, there's always the London to Istanbul race. That sounds like an awesome adventure.
