I pretty much collapsed when I finished so it's taken me a bit to write this last post. Lori and Nicole where waiting and screaming for me when I rode in and was almost choking with emotion. I'm sore all over and I lost 10 pounds but I'm recovering quickly with good food and good care from Lori. I'm very happy that I did this crazy ride and I'm very happy it is over. I'm also very proud to be able to say that I officially qualified for the Race Across America, but fear not, I will not attempt that.

Last early morning ride.

According to Lori this looks better than the hotel.

Some assembly required.

They are very informative in Georgia, I just though that with a bit of sense of humor they should have said "Speed detected by detection devices"

There are many abandoned gas stations too, the weird thing is, is that many are really in the middle of nowhere.

Almost there.

The official route. Every day they would paint the route and add the little yellow marker.

My sweet Lori cheering me on as always. Couldn't have done this without her.

Nicole holding me before I collapse.

A very happy guy.

With a weird tan.

The whole group.

Susan, one of the owners of PACTours, she took care of us all the way. Got to love her.
