On July 11 Thursday, I boarded the Amtrak with my bike to head west. A few friends met up at the train station to send me off. With Cami’s planning we had a beautiful brief “leaving service” - thanks to the model and tradition of the Transforming Center (complete with Rory Noland’s “'Til We Gather Again”).
By Friday evening this was my situation…I was supposed to arrive in Whitefish, Montana on Friday around 10pm…but I finally made it to Whitefish Bike Retreat at 3am. My bunkbed was a welcome sight.
