Final Reflections (Preview)

Greetings, Loyal Readers and Riders:

I was scheduled to blog two days ago and again tonight. For now, all I am trying to do is stay conscious as I approach re-entry into the atmosphere. Twenty-two miles per hour, two parallel pace lines and a police escort is how it ended. We definitely rode in style to Tybee Island.

For now, I am just going to leave you with some photos below. Please check back in 24-36 hours for a genuine post. It may take 24-36 days to even process the 3,300 miles behind me and everything and everyone that got me to the Georgia coast. All I can say now is, can we just turn around and bike back?

I suspect other team members may want to throw in their two cents in the days to come. So although it's my assigned duty to bring the final moments of the trip to you, keep checking the blog (and leaving comments) as we regroup our thoughts. Hopefully, I won't be the only one writing again.

Congratulations, everyone that rode and played any role in this true adventure!

I continue to get goose bumps as I think about all that you have experienced during this ride. As you are full aware, it was mor than a test of your endurance. Just reflex back on all that you experienced. And, know that we love you for what you have exhibited for those in need of appropriate housing!
