MISSION COMPLETE!!!!!! 47 total days, 43 riding days. 3860 miles traveled in route. 150 additional training miles in Merced. The final day of riding included passes through a variety of different farms and orchards. Plums, pears,tomatoes,walnuts and of course more almonds. The trip from the town of Vallejo through the San Francisco Bay involved a ferry ride. I needed to be on the 11:30 a.m. ferry in order to be at the Golden Gate Bridge to meet the Cystic Fibrosis contingency along with Linda, the Schrier's and the Beardsley's. I miscalculated the amount of time needed to arrive at the Vallejo ferry terminal and nearly missed the ferry to San Fran. I did indeed make the ferry but only by 9 minutes. With a great big sigh of relief I took this ferry ride knowing that there was only a short 6 mile ride to the G.G. bridge. As I exited the ferry I donned the C.F.F. cycling jersey and headed west to the completion. Many different emotions were running through my head. A sense of relief to be finishing. A sense of excitement to be seeing Linda. Also a sense of sadness knowing this adventure is coming to an end. Now for all of my faithful followers who have been putting off making their donation until the completion of the ride, NOW IS THE TIME. Thanks again to all who have supported and all who will support this important cause.
Congrats Uncle Vinny!
