HELLO!

Welcome back. Seven years after my first ride across the United States, I am doing it again.

This blog will document my trek.

Day 53 - Palatka to St Augustine (35.0 miles)

What an amazing day, the last day of this cross country adventure. After a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, the riders took pictures in their new custom jerseys, and then rode 10 miles to eat donuts at the first SAG. 20 miles later was lunch in St Augustine. 3 miles later, more pictures at the St Augustine sign. Lastly, we rode 2 miles to a loud cheering crowd at St Augustine Beach to complete the mission. Later, the riders and family members: friends met for a great final dinner. Overall, a very fun day.

Wow, I made it to St Augustine!

And so did the group. End of the journey.
