I made it to the Atlantic Ocean. Its crazy to think that only a month ago I was on the opposite coast!
At Jax beach (Jacksonville, FL) we stopped for a quick photo session after being helped out by American Bicycle Co.’s Chris and Kevin. They not only tuned up both mine and Josh’s bikes, but had a lot of great things to say about cycling, the country and our president elect.
I’m not that sentimental it seems, I didnt tear up upon seeing the ocean. I guess maybe its because I know I still have a long ways to go. But today I’m officially heading NORTH! The first change of direction in 5 weeks!
