OUR LAST DAY! and i got to spend the whole ride with sarah on the same bike, woo! it was maybe the hardest ride ever because we climbed A LOT for being within 55 miles of the beach and this bike was a lot less efficient. The west coast isn’t like the east coast where you could have 200 miles of flatland up to the beach. Sarah and i had a fun time even though it was tough, but it was entirely worth it and i am glad i got to share the ride with her.
SO - imagine this… a family of 31 formed in two and a half months, 12 states + kentucky, many build sites, 4000 MILES, and the west coast is right there! 31 people ready, hot, exhausted, the cold unnoticed, blood pumping, more excitement than we could ever imagine, staring at huge haystack rock in the ocean. Then BAM, we are sprinting as fast as we can into the ocean with all we have worked for - All the people we helped, miles we biked, and the love we sent out for Paige! straight into the ocean. the freezing cold of the ocean unnoticed as we dive in, scream, dance, hug each other, cry, and of course, pop champagne. we all got our bikes for the front wheel dipping ceremony to show we made it. DONE. it’s unreal looking back now. I have never done something so exciting in my life. i shared a lot with all of you bike&builders, stuff i will never forget nor stop telling people… I LOVE YOU ALL WITH ALLLLL I GOT CUS’10
