Yorktown

 Day 56 (or 57)

We set it up so that the last day would be a short ride.  It was a smidge under 16 miles from our campsite to the pier at Yorktown.  Turns out our campsite was established in 1954.  The man who established it was a blacksmith. He did a lot of the decorative ironwork for the re-created Williamsburg.  There's a small blacksmith display in the camp headquarters/store.

Originally Leslie was going to ride with me, but the weather was not co-operative. 94 degrees and greater than 90% humidity.   

Rode south, then east around the Naval Weapons Station, along the York river to Yorktown.  It took me 1 hr and 6 minutes.

I dipped my rear wheel in the waters of the Pacific Ocean on June 20.  Today I dipped my front wheel in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

And so Our cross country bicycle adventure comes to a conclusion.

I've ridden 3,872 Miles, climbed 145,129 feet and crossed 9 states.

Thanks for coming along for the ride.
