It is hard to describe this feeling. Something of this enormity coming to an end. We are so close. Today we got closer. We road 77 miles from Brattleboro, VT to Manchester, NH. My legs were pretty tired from all of the climbing yesterday but by mile 10 I was warmed up and had a great day. There were threats of thunderstorms but nothing ever came to fruition and the sun came out from the clouds by noon. All day long I kept counting down - 100 miles to the Atlantic,75 miles to the Atlantic...Having grown up on the Atlantic Ocean, I keep thinking to myself, I have been in the Atlantic Ocean 100's of times and yet, this time feels so different.
Today I had another treat waiting for me when I arrived. My friends, Meggin and Patrick Treanor came to take me out for lunch. It was great to catch up with them and to see downtown Manchvegas one more time.
Tonight we had our last RAP and our final banquet. It was very touching to hear everyone's thoughts about this journey. I have tons of pics to share, but it is late and we still have 51 miles to ride tomorrow.
