Yeah, I am taking music on my phone, just in case. But I have become really good and going completely blank in my head when I'm riding all day. It's a kind of meditation I guess, not getting caught up in fears, worries, self pity, self loathing, homesickness, etc. It all comes to mind, but I've got pretty good at letting it pass without getting hold of me.

Lovely account of what cycling, in some small way, is probably doing for us all.
Good luck Gabes.

You say that but don't discount the mood-altering properties of a good tune when you're 10 days deep and battling some relentless headwind with a bear chasing a redneck who's chasing your red raw buttocks down a gravel trail... or something.
