 Today we rode from Gallup, New Mexico to Grants New Mexico. We rode for 66 miles. We crossed over the continental divide. I have some pictures below. The weather was great for riding. It was nice and cool. After we got done riding and before we got to the hotel we stopped at a local brewery and barbecue place. The sandwich was phenomenal. I did not taste any of the beer though. I still had to cycle a little bit more to the hotel. People I was with though did have a sum of the local beer and they thought it was very very good. The name of the place was the Junkyard. It had all automobile parts from many many years ago. The tables were made out of automobile parts like the fenders the tail end of a pick up truck, and the bar was fashioned out of the front end of a truck. I have pictures below.

 Today is our final day of the adventure across United States riding from Manhattan Beach to Revere Beach. We rode from the Burlington Hotel to Revere Beach for a total of about 16 to 17 miles. We did our daily route rap song as well. It was our farewell song. We did BORN in the USA. After the song we group together. Someone asked who will lead us to Revere Beach and someone volunteered myself.  I have felt home since we crossed over the Massachusetts line. I was truly honored to be the leader. I then lead them from the Burlington hotel to Revere Beach.  At Revere Beach my friend Beth met me there. I was so excited to see her and so happy that she was there. She was able to take lots of pictures, some of which I will post below. This trip has been an incredibly awesome event. I will never forget these times. I will never forget the people I have met. The whole group was incredibly awesome. We had so many fun times as well as some very difficult times. Each one of us had o...

 Well, today was our last day of a full ride. We rode from Brattleboro Vermont through New Hampshire and into Burlington MA. I was able to complete the day for a total of 91 miles. Additionally, my climbing was over 5000 feet. I rode well through most of the day. During the last 10 to 15 mile I started getting tired. But I continue to ride on with no aches or pains anywhere. I remember at some point during the tour that Tom, one of the staff members told me that we begin to behave like we’re machines. Today that is what I felt like. My legs just kept going but at a little bit slower than they had earlier in the day. It was kind of surreal, passing through New Hampshire, and subsequently into Massachusetts realizing I am home, and I have actually cycled across the United States. I suspect this won’t hit me until a couple of days has passed, and I am back home. Again today I did not take many pictures. I think this was more because I’ve been in this area and some of these areas are f...
