The Beers

Alicia and I enjoy many outdoor activities. Alicia has long had a life goal of bicycling across America. It sounded like a great adventure to me. This was an opportune pause in our lives with a recent job loss (May 2009), so with just three weeks of planning and training - we were off.

This trek started May 24th, 2009 from Anacortes, Washington ending 65 days later in Portland, Maine (We had expected 60 days to Bar Harbor, Maine.).

Day 65. Finis

Here is the Atlantic as seen on the approach to East End Beach near
downtown Portland, Maine. We rode 55 miles to finish today.

We are done!!! Yeah!!! We are both ready to finish. Though the
miles were short, we also seemed short on energy. I think we needed
to be done or take like several days off. It was a very humid day
where the air never looked clear and was almost fog.

At one point I got hungry and tore off a chunck of air to gnaw on.
Chewy but not satisfying.

We'll post more pictures later today.
