Today was a day for mechanics, test rides and other logistical preparations. We also had an opportunity to visit the Old City of Jerusalem. I went with guide who took us off the beaten path and into the neighborhoods, away from the main attractions - the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Dome of the Rock - into the residential quarters that make up the heart of the city. We sometimes forget that the city is not just these holy sites, but a place where thousands of people live.
And tonight we have had our final ride briefings, safety lectures and logistics meetings. There is nothing left but to begin the journey that I have been anticipating and training for.
Tomorrow we ride!
