best: leaving Banff, AB on my first attempt at the Tour Divide
worst: sitting in Reno after a couple of days from tossing in the towel at Butte, MT
realizing that I didn't go into it with enough cash, and wondering why my skin keeps exuding this weird waxy feeling... not to mention an eruption of saddle soars

worst: returning to Monterey, and thinking... "this is it?" <-- realizing how small things are
