Suffolk to Virginia Beach

[Sunday, August 1] We cannot believe this day has arrived...the home stretch. We woke at Bike West around 7:00 and got our world together. Bill offered to ride along side of us as we biked on hwy 58/460 through a busy 10-mile section of our route east. Once through, we picked up Military Hwy in Cheasapeake and biked around the southside of Tidewater to avoid the crazy traffic. At 1:30 we arrived at Rudee Inlet, the south end of Virginia Beach. We rode along the boardwalk a while and took our bikes on the beach. We took many victory pictures and celebrated. With today's 47 mile ride, the grand total from the Golden Gate Bridge to Virginia Beach totaled 4,015 miles. Thank you all for your prayers, encouragement and support. Most of all...we thank our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for what he did in and through us over the last two months. To Him be all glory and honor, Amen.
