Rest Stop in Roswell, GA

A most welcome sign after three months!
In our last post we were ready to leave Kentucky and enter Tennessee. Well, that seems like ancient history now. We crossed Tennessee and entered Georgia.  Last night we slept in our home in Roswell.

Getting here required some tough rides by Jay. His rides of 60 – 70 miles have included elevation climbs in the thousands of feet. The weather has been all over the road (pun intended). Some days we have temperatures in the mid 90’s, other days we have mild temperatures with threats of rain.

We are now in the final stages of a bike ride across this country that started in La Push, west of Seattle, Washington on May 31.  

Jay will start the final part on this journey on Sunday, August 19. He will ride solo this time, staying in hotels for the three days anticipated to complete the 260-mile ride to Savannah. Helen will then drive to Savannah and meet Jay for a final end-of-ride celebration. In Savannah, we’ll mount the bicycle on the back of the Prius and drive back home.

We'll just bring our cell phones.

It took four days for Jay to ride through Tennessee.
