This has been an extremely stressful, busy several months, and I've been on the bike less than any year since I started riding in 2005.

I feel like the window of opportunity for any type of tour is closing rapidly as the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, so I'm heading out tomorrow on my Salsa Fargo for perhaps a couple of days, or maybe a week. I don't know where I'm going yet - I'll wait to see which the wind is blowing tomorrow.
