Day 68....Sooooo Close!

Day 68 - Nov. 12th I rode 40 miles today and Tom joined me for part of those miles.  You can see Tom is smarter then I when it comes to riding these distances. 

Also, see the below picture as I got caught in the rain and the bridge I was to cross got washed out.  I had to laugh when Barbara took this picture as I was soaking wet.  Barbara was actually smarter then both Tom and I as she did not ride at all today in the wet weather.  At this point of the ride I think I am realizing that I must have a loose nut in my head for doing this entire ride.  But riding in the rain with washed out bridges and detours I guess is all part of the adventure.
 
We are now nearing St. Augustine as I will ride tomorrow and Friday will be a day to finalize everything as I ride through St. Augustine (with my police escort) on Saturday!!

We are now less then $2,000 from hitting my goal of $71,000 and I have to say thank you to everyone for really assisting on this great cause.  Over the last couple of days we have received donations from people I do not know....but they obviously know a great cause like Habitat! 

Also, thank you to the Sponsors (listed under Sponsors above) for your donations as well!

Yesterday's Quiz:  How many revolutions will my front tire make on this trip from San Diego to St. Augustine?

Answer: 2,391,507.43 (Approx.)  Think I had some time to think while riding across the country?
