Its All Over

Wow, its all over and I finally made it, 75 days after leaving Los Angeles I rode into Boston at 5.30am on the 22nd June 2005.

Its been a long hard trip and one that I could have quite happily quit on a number of occasions, but I'm absolutely delighted that I managed to force myself to carry on through the bad days and have managed to ride just short of 4000 miles across the States.

I've seen some great sights and met even more really generous people. Everyone I met along the route has been so friendly and generous its been amazing. I'm looking forward to a return trip very soon (but not on a bike!).

I'd like to thank all the people that have helped me out on the trip, but there are just so many I don't think I could name them all. So to all of you, thanks for everything, all your help was very much appreciated.

For anyone else that contemplates a similar journey my only advice is just do it!

I'm now enjoying a well earned rest.
