My name is Joe and I have written from my point of view about
the experiences and daily life of riding the Adventure Cycling Southern Tier
Route with a group of fellow cyclists, and shared my images from as well as
maps of each day’s ride. I have enjoyed
sharing this experience, not only in real time with the other members of the riding
group, but also with all of you who have experienced and hopefully enjoyed our
travels from the comfort of your computer room or easy chair.
Last night I made a decision to ride the remainder of the trip
solo in three days, instead of the five days scheduled by the group. Therefore
all that is left is ‘me’. My intend is
to finish with two almost one hundred mile days and a third thirty-two mile day,
which will end at the Hertz car rental office, where I will rent a car and
start my drive home. I am anxious to get
home and should do so by the 14th of November. Since most of my ‘experiences’ in the next
two days will be in getting in the miles in order to finish, there will
probably be no more written posts to this blog, except for maps and an
occasional picture to complete the record of my trip. There will certainly be no way to report what
is happening to ‘the group’. I have
enjoyed authoring this blog and hope you have enjoyed following the progress of
the 2017 Southern Tier adventure.
It was a pleasure to ride with you , challenge each other on those feel good days and encourage each other on those most difficult days....God Speed ....Cookie Monster!
