Because of a lack of internet access and phone service plus a competitive edge for one computer between 32 riders I havent been able to blog. However, it is nearing the end of the trip and I wanted to update everyone on what has been happening.
New Mexico was the most beautiful, we were only in Utah for a day or two, Nevada was the most miserable experience ever (heat, hills, and sand), and it was the most beautiful experience of my life to see the "Welcome to California" sign.
The trip has been absolutely amazing and having only 2 days left of biking seems unreal. Looking at the map and seeing how far we have come seems so simple compared to what we have gone through. The mountains that we have climbed, the heat that we have endured, and the distances of 110 miles that we have gone have all made us true bikers. I would not trade this trip for anything in the world but the site of the Golden Gate Bridge will be the best feeling of my entire life.
I thought that I would see my mom at the end of the bridge and it would be the completion of my huge journey, but she came and surprised me today in Napa Valley. That surprise is what is going to get me through these last 2 days of biking. When we pulled up into the church parking lot and she came out to greet me and Kelsey, I almost fell over. Experiencing Napa Valley wineries and restaurants with my mom proved to be one of my favorite parts of the trip.
So as we head into the next two days they will be the longest but prove to be some of the best. I want to thank everyone again who donated to my cause and biking experience to help send me across the country to raise money and awareness for affordable housing. This has been the best experience of my entire life and I cant thank you enough. I will blog again when everything is over to share more of the entire trip!
