ReplyDeleteBill, big congratulations!! From another rider still chipping away at the Southern Tier, you’ve been through and overcome so many challenges. And way more than your fair share of flats!! I enjoyed your list of “numbers”!

ReplyDeleteWow! You were really hauling! I was down in St Augustine in 2016. My wife and I arrived in San Diego 2 years later!!! We rested in the Detroit area for months, in between, peddling C# skills at work during the day. We drove a Pontiac, excitedly, between St Augustine and Michigan, before heading over to San Diego via Delta Airlines. The view was great.
ReplyDeleteIn comparison, your trip was waaay more interesting than a modified V8 and Boring 737. Congrats on your achievement, Bill!
Congrats Bill on your accomplishment. wonderful and inspiring stats. looking forward for your next adventure.
