After a night of birthday celebration with friends and family at Chapel’s Cove for Cathy’s 60th coming up Monday we slept well and woke to steak and eggs. Our ride started at Woodford’s Station just east of Holyrood where Harry and the ATV left us (we would see him at the finish line!)
Hurricane Dorian was our friend today giving us sunny skies and a strong tailwind all the way home. We were happy to meet more than a dozen of our biker friends who battled the headwind to ride out and meet us near Foxtrap, turning and riding the remaining 25k or so with us.
With a break for coffee and snacks in Paradise, we remounted for the final 13k downhill blast to the train station, and a WONDERFUL reception at Mile 0 from dozens of family and friends.
It was a day of mixed emotions as we were happy to reach our goal but sad to end our journey. Over the next few days we will add some additional notes to our blog posts, tidy up our
Google Photo Album for anyone wanting to see all our pictures and video clips, and provide a final update on our
Alzheimer Fundraising Initiative.
Trail Conditions: Excellent
Weather: Sunny warm and WINDY (tailwind)
Issues: None
Distance Today: 55k
Total Distance: 883k

Congrats on your significant accomplishment. I followed every leg of the journey ... the only problem is you may have planted a seed for me!
