Here's a photo of the final hill that I had to bike up.
The total trip distance was just about 1500 miles (2400km). I left Sioux Falls on August 20th at 9:00 and arrived in New York at 13:30 on September 29th.
My average speed was 13 miles an hour (21 kph). I spent a total of 23 days biking. Wow...I just realized I took a lot of days off! I was in no rush though. I'll enter all my statistics in a spreadsheet soon. I'll also go back and enter journal entries with photos from that specific day. This is the first time I've been able to sit down and update my blog since Toronto! Since then I've biked all the way across New York state! Most of that trip was with my father:
It has been an amazing journey. I can't say that i've loved every second of it, but I would not trade any experience i've had along the way. I the last 40 days have been incredibly rich...looking back, I realize I have experienced such a huge range of emotions and situations. I have been cold, depressed, exhausted, exhilarated, alert, afraid, content, starving, full, joyful, grateful, bitter, angry, competitive, thoughtful, and reckless...just to name a few. I'm excited for whatever will come next. Stay tuned!
