An unfortunate update

Hello all. It’s been several days since I last made an entry. My ride has come to a somewhat ignominious end as I started having severe left-sided flank pain last Sunday night, which ended up being a kidney stone. It is being pretty stubborn and I really can’t ride with it.

I am pretty disappointed; the ride has been spectacularly beautiful and the riding group has been great to hang around with. Oh well, I ended up riding almost 1900 miles which is not nothing. I don’t know whether I’ll do another long ride like this again, but I will certainly be doing other bicycle journeys.

Thanks to all who have been reading this, and to those who have contributed to the MS effort.
