From the beaches of the Pacific, to the beaches of the Atlantic, 2939 miles, 186 hours and 19 minutes of pedaling time, 188,454 calories, over 26 days (according to my Garmin bike unit). We made it. No bike crashes; no accidents: no dropouts, we all made it.
My feelings were ones of relief, satisfaction, and disorientation, to be real honest with you.
Relief to be done pedaling, because my body is tired. Satisfaction in the accomplishment of a huge goal. Disorientation related to feeling like I had just left the Pacific Ocean, and now we were at the Atlantic Ocean, and who knows what is going on with the economy of our country.
I will try to sum things up alittle more later, but most of all I want to thank those of you who have followed this effort, supported and prayed for me. Thank you so much!

Wow Rick, all your numbers blew me away. A big congratulation on this bike trip. Ted and I are really impressed! Have a safe trip back to Wisconsin.
Thanks for letting us "come along". I had a great time tracking your blog and Jerry's. The pictures and comments were a treat to follow every day. I'm proud of your hard work and commitment. This is something that you'll never forget. I'm sure there will be life lessons that you will draw on from this trip for years to come.
