WOW! What a ride in. An all day celebration on bikes. We laughed, we hugged, we congratulated, we ate, we photographed, we smiled, we pedaled, we cheered, we shouted, we dipped wheels in the ocean and we took pride in our achievement. After the last 25 days, how could this be any better. Great roads, albeit with some traffic, the same clear blue skies and moderate temps we've been enjoying since leaving the desert and a celebration of cycling, truly another day in Paradise. Looking back, I never could have anticipated the great companions, pleasant and helpful crew and perfect weather we've had this whole trip. Toooo much! We've been smiled upon and we know it. The Epic is over, except for the celebrating, and I can't imagine what could have made it better. Life is good. This is a great country. I'll let the smiles tell the rest of the story:

Hey Ron, great blog and photos! I love your daily narratives to help remind me of all that we saw, especially the "Back of the Pack" photo. I hope to get on my bike again Tuesday for 65 miles.

Ron,
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed your blog, nicely done. Thanks for your company on the road and at dinner.
I have some unfinished business from Mississippi to Georgia, maybe when I'm retired. Thank you
