1st time apart!

So today was our rest day in Chicago, and most of the riders are spread out at their respective houses/stayovers.  There has been much talk of how much we all miss each other! I think this is the first time we have all been apart for this long.  It feels quite strange to not be sleeping on a floor surrounded by 27 of your best friends (although we are enjoying beds!).But we have all been having a great time with family and friends - and getting much needed rest im sure.  It feels slightly surreal to have taken a train to NYC, then rode our bikes through fields/mountains for 17 days, and magically be back home where we started.  But the trip is far from over and we are all looking forward to the next 3/4ths of the summer!Cant wait to be reunited with the team tomorrow for the ride along day! Should be a great easy ride from Millenium Park to Highland Park, and a fantastic day spent with the adventurous people who have decided to join us!
