Oak Spring, CA to San Diego, CA California is complete and I've reached the end of the route!

Switched back to cycling to the west. It was 39oF in the mountains again, but no rain this time.

I did not see the ocean until I was within a mile or two.

It was 65 degrees on the beach, sunny and windy...

| After nearly 3000 miles, check the size of those thighs |
Stayed in San Diago overnight.
I plan to do one more posting to summarize my final thoughts in the next few days... then the trip and the blog will be compelte.
Jo Ann - you are amazing!! I'm so proud that you finished this journey. What an inspiration for everyone to follow their dreams. WAY TO GO!!!
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo!!!! I was concerned after that scary ride with high winds but so happy you ended the trip in such a beautiful location and with canine friends!
ReplyDeleteWhat will I do during my days now without your adventure series to keep me sane!
Congratulations to both of you, so well done!

ReplyDeleteJo Ann,
ReplyDeleteLet me add my congratulations. Good job! Let me know when you get back to Ohio so you can fill me in on the details.
MDR
Jo Ann,
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!!!!!!I look forward to seeing you on the beach here so we can do some windsurfing. I checked my gear and it looks ready to go. Now the lake needs to warm up so we can go out together! I am proud to say that I have a friend who has cycled from coast to coast. The people that I have told about you are amazed. Thank you David for making this dream tour come true for Jo Ann. Have a safe and leisure return trip to Ohio!

You did it!!! I'm so happy for you :) So, what's the plan to get home? Driving??
ReplyDeleteJo Ann,
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!!! I still can't believe that you actually cycled from the east coast to the west coast in 71 days with a "vacation" in that time. The memories that you and David have created will last a life time and then some! I can't wait to hear all the details first hand and see those well developed muscles out on Lake Erie windsurfing. The wind will be better than what you experienced while cycling! Have a safe and relaxing trip back to Ohio. I look forward to seeing you soon.
