We Made It :)

Day 69, August 16th
4356.2 miles total
Florence, Oregon

average mileage/day: 70.3
7 rest days total






Two young girls without support and much cycling experience made it across the United States without taking the easiest, shortest, or quickest route. I know we surprised a lot of people along the way, including ourselves.

We have many more stories to tell of our good fortune and the kind hospitality we have encountered, but for the moment we are going to bask in the sun on the coast of the Pacific. We will also tally up our total mileage which is somewhere over 4,000 miles!!!!!

Yay for Oregon!

Many thanks to the generous donations of Karl Meyer, Matt & Yvonne Devlin, Jerry & Marcy Monkman, Walter & Shirley Donelson and Ron & Nancy.
