Awesome! Don't that "0 Car" thing feel good!
As for the wife (I have one too), you did the best thing by calling when you arrived - you validate her feelings, let her know you care that she is worried, and relieve her stress. Be sure to tell her how good you feel riding, what a great ride you had, what you saw - include her in the event. But NEVER EVER EVER tell her about close calls, minor falls, getting yelled at, things thrown at you, etc. Did I say never? NEVER!!!! That's all on you to suck up if you want to keep riding and peace. And why worry her more anyway.
Happy Trails! Many More!
