Day 56: Palatka to St. Augustine,Florida
Miles: 47ish ------------ Total Mileage 3,159.60
Theme: WE DID IT!!!!!!
Oh my - what a day! Today was absolutely amazing, very emotional and I can honestly say - I think it will take some time for this accomplishment to truly sink in! I just wanted to let everyone know we made it. We had a 6 mile police escort down to the beach. Family and friends were there to cheer us in. Alice and I (my recumbent sister) lead the pack of riders in - Tex was right behind me. IT WAS AMAZING and tears were streaming down my face when I saw Kate. I am crying now as I type this! How can I put this experience into words. Certainly right now I can't
I will write more when I get home to Madison, but wanted to let you know we made it safe and sound. Banquet tonight and then Kate and I fly home tomorrow. It will be very strange not to get up, have breakfast, pack snacks and then get on the bike. I think it will take me sometime to adjust and let this all sink in.
I will post my last blog by Tuesday evening - I want to have time to reflect on this journey before I wrap this all up. Thanks again to all of you who have followed me on this journey. I have felt your support throughout!
Love,
Fiona
