Palatka to St.Augustine

Today was a 47 mile flat route to the Atlantic coast,which included a 6 mile police escort through downtown St.Augustine. All 27 riders made it to the end,where we walked through the sand to dip our front tires in the ocean. We didn't stay long as we were in a light rain all day,and after our picnic lunch with family and friends,it started pouring very hard. We had 2 surprise visits from Bell Brinn and Nancy Howard,who were injured on the trip and had returned home. Both of these riders came down from their home states just see us finish.

Our last dinner tonight was in a local restaurant and there was lots of drinking with all the toasts to each other. I am ready to come home and this trip is once in a lifetime,because its to tiring to ever do it again. My bike is being shipped tomorrow and it will need some repair work and my body needs to rest.

I want to thank all my friends and family for all the good wishes and support,and my 3 good luck charms are still intact and I keep them on the bike forever. See you all when I get home.
