Will On A Bike

One man rides his bike across the United States and lives to tell about it.

Friday, October 25

The End is in Sight

I've got four days left.

Four days before I reach Yorktown, Virginia. Four days to end three months of riding my bicycle.

And I'm kind of crackling. I can feel something fueling me that goes beyond the raw power of trail mix and Pringles.

My pedal came off the other day and I put it back on. My tire went flat and I patched it. The temperature hit 27 degrees and I rode anyway. I am, quite simply, unstoppable.

I want to thank everyone who has read this blog and supported me throughout the past three months. I am an extremely emotional, sensitive human being and this has been hard on me. Your support has meant a lot. It has. Every little message and every little comment.

So I want you to know there is a reason why I announced this trip to you and sent you an email about this blog: it's because I really, really like you.

Wish me luck on my last few days. If you haven't given me your address already, you better do it now.

Congratulations on completing your amazing adventure! We've enjoyed reading all your blogs and following your progress across the country. That hot, dry day on the Whitebird Pass in Idaho seems like years ago now, but it was really only 2 months ago. What a great accomplishment you've achieved.
