Day 53 -- Portsmouth to South Boston (MA) -- 78 Miles

I had a great opportunity to reflect on my coast-to-coast journey in my solo ride home today. I thought about the places I had been, the people I shared the experience with, and the reasons why I took on this journey that has already proven to be an unforgettable chapter in my life.

Although I took a few detours, and moved at a pretty slow pace today (the headwinds were formidable, and the legs felt a bit heavy), the miles seemed to disappear quickly because I was so lost in my thoughts. Before I knew it, I was approaching the "Welcome to South Boston" sign, and I was truly proud. Pedaling to my front door was even more exhilarating!

My plan is to write a final post in the coming days. I am not sure what it will say, or if I will be able to scribe a proper conclusion to this amazing journey. My hope is that a little more reflection before signing off once and for all will be beneficial. In the meantime, I want to thank you for following my blog as I pedaled across the United States. I have been overwhelmed by your support along the way, and the opportunity to share this experience with you has been such a treat.
