Today is the final day of the trip. We will be riding out of Williamsburg and taking the Colonial Parkway, the 13 miles to Yorktown, VA and the Atlanticocean. As Don and I ride these last miles, our support team of Rod and Sal, along with my father, and a friend of Don/Sal's, Roy, will follow along, take pictures and help us celebrate the ending of this long but enjoyable journey across the U.S.
I will fnish the blog from home with my final thoughts and pictures of the trip. Goodbye for now.
Finally home after a 600 mile drive from Yorktown, VA.
It was a celebration on the beach as we dipped our front tires in the Atlantic ocean. Although it was only 8:30 in the morning, we toasted our completion of the journey with Champange and gave hugs to all those around us. It was emotional for both Don and I as we realized our journey was complete and that we had a accomplished a feat that not many people can ever say they have done--more so for Don in the fact that this is his forth time across the country.
Here are some of the final numbers for the trip:
Mileage: 2, 871

Avg Speed: 14.4mph
Max Speed: 51.4mph
