Two programs that are really important in my job are the Cycling Ambassador Project and the CAN-BIKE program. So I wonder how they are going. Both programs are fun and involve a lot of people interested in bicycles and bike safety. I'll have lots to tell you when I get home. I wish I had had more time to ride my bike before the trip started.
Every athlete has their great times and low times.
Try to eat well, sleep enough and ride at your own pace. Take breaks when you need them and snack a lot. I find bike riding to be a really good time to mull things over - as long as the traffic is not too bad. So I think about things I've seen or things I've experienced and enjoy the time to explore what these experiences have meant to my life. I am tired, but having such a good time learning new things that it is not a problem.
