I mean, it sounds relatively simple and then time just seems to evaporate.

And then you're like, basically you go to sleep and then do it all again the next day.

And yeah.

You mentioned you had doubts, and I wonder, like, what was the thing that helped you start to settle into the rhythm of the ride and start to turn a corner to that you could go this great distance?

I love that you're calling them treat moments.

And I'd love to talk more if you're okay about that bit about self-supported versus community, because I wonder, did you have the intention of doing this quote self-supported before you started?

We just celebrate these people who, anyways, that's kind of something that I'm thinking about.

Especially when it's your own challenge that you're coming up with and choosing to do, right?

You don't need to subscribe to some rules that someone else has invented because it's just for you.
