Deadlines

[jim allen]

I think you have hit on it, regret.  I already know that the trip went much
too fast when I biked.  It was wonderful and then, suddenly we were in Avis
renting a car to drive back to Madrid.  It was fun driving right back over
the Camino we had just biked and then turned south on the superhighway to
Madrid.  I just don't want to do 300 miles and then get home and "regret" I
did not start at SJPP.
