• Is it wrong to pose those questions? Presumably they're both thinking about these kind of things on and off during the closing stages of the ride and I'm quite curious about the 'reintegration' process after such a big trip. Also, as a cyborg, I have no more than a basic understanding of human emotions.

  • Everyone's different but for me even the 'will we see a book' question just felt like pressure at some point (no doubt not the intention here).

    @moog wonderful, just wonderful.

    How I remember ending a big trip was just crying. Lots of crying and overwhelm. Beautiful times to go through, in retrospect. The thing is that transitioning back to 'normal' life was pretty similar to transitioning to bike life. One day you set off feeling inept and nervous, everything seems so far away and abstract, then you just do a bit every day and deal with what's in front of you, and without realising you're like cool, I got this.
