Day 9: Finish Line

We left our B&B with a breakfast of eggs, sausage, and toast. The morning was slow with the destination being so close. I had the hardest time not staring at the clock or watching the miles tick by. We made one brief stop at a gas station for a coke and tea. I texted my parents and told them we were about 2.5 hours out. The day was pretty uneventful, which I am a-okay with! We crossed the South Carolina line. I biked through another state!  NC was much flatter and had superior roads to Virginia.  

Mike lead most of the day but once we got to highway 17 I knew my way. We pulled into the development and were headed to the condo. As we got closer I heard crazy sounds, and eventually saw my whole family outside. They had on leis, used a happy birthday banner as a finish line for us to ride through, Joe had a squirt gun to cool us off, and my brother had 2 cold Shiner beers. It was so unexpected and hysterical. My aunts were out there as well. It was almost overwhelming, but so exciting as well. It was a great finish to a great trip. Thanks family!!

I crossed the finish line first;).

40 miles today. 467 miles for the trip. 

Happy National Bike Month!!
