Day 75 - 70 Miles to Yorktown - DONE!!!
Friday, 8/08/08 - 70 miles to Yorktown, 4,452 total miles. Rode in to town at 2:15 with 4 cycling friends and a tailwind. Kathy, Kathy Filopowicz, her daughter Sheila and friend Scott were at the Yorktown Victory Monument to greet us and cheer us in. A crowd gathered, took pictures, offered congratulations, and the local trolley rang its bell and yelled out, "welcome to Yorktown." We went to the Yorktown pub for a late lunch and celebration. It was a perfect day and way to finish. Thanks to my wife Kathy for her love and support that made the trip possible. It was a wonderful and magnificent trip full of people, places, and events and memories to last a lifetime. Thanks to all for prayers and support. More thoughts about the trip and pictures to follow.
