Orange Blossom Gravel 2026

I looked at my phone at mile 85 and saw that ICE killed another American citizen. The weekend was full of friends and love. How do I manage this? Who am I to go have fun adventures while these things are happening? My heart feels heavy and I don’t know what to say about this weekend. Jess and Steve are beautiful humans with so much love. Lots of friends. Great route. The storm caused our flight home to be canceled. I was supposed to be home in time for my sons eighth birthday. I wasn’t. We drove 26 hours straight. Then back to work like everything is normal. I don’t know what’s what. Protest/bike ride is happening tomorrow. I don’t know if I can do it. We’ll see. Heres the pictures from my weekend. They are in reverse chronological order. Somehow that makes more sense to me.
