MP - Joanne, the love of my life & wife for almost 45 years. I was really reaching above my status in life when I started dating the smartest, prettiest & interesting girl in high school. It was the first big risk I had taken in life & since it worked out so well I have been taking risks ever since. She is my soul mate, she helps me keep my life in balance & I look forward to spending the rest of our lives together.
This was the perfect way to bring the C2C adventure to a close. Good weather, flat paved bike trails, easy riding, short distance. I have taken almost 100 pictures of city signs across the country, but this is the one I have been waiting for.
When I arrived at our lunch location, my family had gathered there to greet me & we enjoyed a nice lunch together. Then at about 1 PM, we all had to bike another 2 miles to gather for a final group picture.
We then biked single file for the last mile to the beach. Dipping the front wheel in the Atlantic Ocean completed the Coast 2 Coast journey.
Here I am with Bubba getting the C2C medal.
What an adventure it has been. I will need some time to process the whole experience. Watch for a future post with some of those reflections.
WDYLT - ILT completing a Coast 2 Coast bike trip is a much more emotional experience than I expected & as Bubba would say “It’s All Good”.
