T minus 3 weeks: This shit is starting to feel real.

I have booked my flight. I will fly from Ireland to Seattle on the 14 September, a little more than 3 weeks from now.

I have my final day at work 1 week before my flight so I am trying to finish up work projects before then.

My bike maintenance skills are still almost non existing, so I have booked into a 1 day “bike maintenance course” tomorrow. I joke about never having changed a tire before so hopefully this course will give enough bike knowledge to get me going.

Still have a bit of gear to pull together but the gear is starting to take shape.

Am still scared shitless but have accepted that that will be a default state for the next few weeks until I hit the road.

That is it for now, just a small update.
