Some people on the beach. They think it's all over.

It is now!
62 miles today in pleasant sunshine in 3 hrs 33 minutes to end our journey on the Atlantic Beach on Jekyll Island, Georgia. We were able to ride on the beach into the surf and Keith poured his little sample of the Pacific into the Atlantic to confuse the local micoflora.
Time to take stock maybe.
1 Big journey
2 Oceans
4 Time zones
9 States
31 Days of cycling
85 Miles average per cycling day
2652 miles travelled.
Starting the last day as Keith started the first. With a puncture! This time it is a little bit of wire from a shredded tyre which litter the shoulder of most roads. 

Entering Jekyll Island. 

Chris enjoys the last few yards of the trip. 

Standing in the Atlantic. 

The Pacific and Atlantic meet. 

The final score. 2652.4 miles. 

Job done!

  2. What an achievement, Chris and Keith-and only a smattering of punctures during such an epic ride, Keith!
    Chris obviously delighted to achieve "personal best". Will it be beaten, next tour?
    Due credit and thanks to Mandy, for undertaking the support vehicle/driving role, of course. How about a pic for the album?
    Family and friends hope you all enjoy the remaining time in USA. The Atlantic Coast looks quite appealing from where we are..
