We have achieved total victory at the base of the monument dedicated to the end of the Revolutionary War. Just as George Washington received Cornwallis’ sword at this very spot, we surrendered our bikes’ front tires to the Atlantic symbolizing the completion of the crossing of the US. This was in spite of the gusting winds and rain from the Nor’easter. We were not to be detered from completing our adventure.
Tomorrow I will reflect on this adventure, what we accomplished and give up some statistical tidbits of interest. Plus there will be a smorgasbord of photos. Stay tuned.
Today we were in the saddle for 3 hrs and 55 mins and climbed 500 ft. Even the Tidewater area is not flat.

Congratulations! Way to Go! The wind, rain, coal trucks and the equivalent of climbing Mt Everest many times could not slow you guys down! That is such a impressive accomplishment and wonderful contribution to a worthy cause. Tia and all of the PKU patients and families have some real champions on their side. Enjoy your celebration! You deserve it!
