August 24: Brigham City to Home

I made it! I arrived at home about 1 PM today after riding 62 miles from Brigham City, Utah. Since leaving home 58 days ago on June 28, I’ve traveled 2847 miles by bicycle.

Here are some pictures from my arrival:

After that, I showered, napped, unpacked, and had some dinner. That’s about all I could accomplish the rest of the day.

    Pete,

    Promise to be real careful on the streets now that you’re safely back. Say Hi to Pat!

    Wow, what a ride. Congratulations on such a great trip with lots of good stuff with great pictures.
    How about a wrap up that includes your daily pod regimen (I’m changing to Omnipod today!) temp basal, bolus reductions, any challenges forgetting your pdm someplace, etc? Also tell about how you ended up after your initial problem with the Dexcom. I find it indespensable. What about weight gain/loss.

    Welcome home, Pete… I can only imagine how it must have felt to pedal those last few miles and then pull up into that driveway after 2 months…
