We made it! 2,004 miles and over $5000.00! We are tired and happy to be finished. We are now at my brother's house with his wife Carla and their two children, Conner and Cerrigan. We have been napping and eating voraciously and spending very little time outside. Our bikes are sitting neglected in the garage. We both decided Kentucky was the most beautiful state with Missouri coming in second. Kansas has the nicest people but we prefer hilly terrain over flat terrain. We missed the hardships of the Appalachains, only suffered through their foothills.
It does feel strange not to be waking up and getting ready for a day of riding but it also feels quite peaceful. We feel so fortunate to have made the trip with only numerous flat tires and a stolen Bob trailer as mishaps - no bodily injuries other than a swollen knee and occasional sunburn. We really couldn't have done it without all the suppor through your comments here, on Facebook and through your donations. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
