Victory! What an exuberant feeling when we were given a police escort from Brunswick across the causeway to St.Simon's Island. This last day of riding was going to be a celebration. We still did not get a tailwind but at least the ride was very flat but the air was very humid and I actually had some drops of sweat fall on my frame, most remarkable because the weather has been so mild most of the trip.
This has been a marvelous adventure. I appreciate all who have followed my blog and especially those who have contributed to Centre Volunteers In Medicine in support of my ride. I will be back in the office on Monday trying to meet the medical needs of the working poor of Centre Co. Personally this has been a physical challenge but also a great time of fellowship with others facing their own physical and spiritual challenges. Especially memorable are Larry biking with Parkinsons, Beau biking despite a fractured wrist and bronchitis and 84 y.o. Bob Kizer who just completed his 5th cross-country bicycle trip. He was surprised to be joined by his grandson Billie who biked with him today. I had met Billie 6 yrs.ago when he biked cross-country with his then, 78 y.o. grandfather. Little did I know I would encounter them 6 years later. Such is the inspiration of Wandering Wheels.
