It has now been a few days since we have returned to reality... and although it's true that we have started to sleep more and wear clean clothes, the VELO:CITY tour remains with us.
Yesterday, the mini bike army organized a welcome back ride for the clettes. Merci lovelies! It was a ride like many that we have experienced in the past, but seen with new eyes. It was amazing to see our friends and ride on home turf, but strange as well, because here, we are known primarily as individuals, not as a group. On tour, we were a collective, a posse, one entity. For two weeks, we laughed, danced, ate, slept and rode together. We shared a collective experience.
The VELO:CITY tour was an experience of inspiration and challenge. It was to viscerally experience a community, specifically the biking community. It was about sharing our energy and connecting ideas and people through out the coast.
Thanks to all the beautiful people that we met along the way because now we are even more energized and inspired to dance, to ride and to make dreams come true. Thanks to all our friends a family who supported us and sent us on our way. Thanks to the bike community for being an oasis of creativity and love in this beautiful world.
Somebody told me that we would touch alot of hearts along the way. I hope this is true, because our collective heart is swollen and beating feverishly from all the kindness and love we have received on the VELO:CITY tour.
thanks and love to all,
Melissa
