We switched things up a bit and decided to try our hand at bicycle touring and not just a short one. With a quick internet search of "long bike trails on the east coast" the top search was www.greenway.org. The East Coast Greenway with a detailed map appeared with only of handful of people that completed it from end to end. With not a lot of time to find bikes, panniers, and all the gear needed for our almost 3000 mile bike ride from Maine to Florida, we scrabbled to get ready. To be honest, we didn't think everything through as much as we could have but it left us with a lot of unknown and the ability to take each day as it came. Could we have been more prepared… totally but what is the fun in that? As we started our journey south along the east coast greenway we were naïve but excited to what the trail would bring.
In today's video, we made it to Key West! After 74 days pedaling our bikes from Maine to Florida we made it! It felt like it would take us forever to get to Key West and as we entered the Keys we couldn't help but feel excited but a little sad at all at the same time. Our adventure was coming to a close but as we finish these adventures it opens our eyes up to what we can do next! We already have our next bike tour planned with Maisha in tow of course!
We want to thank everyone involved in making this trip possible. To Terry, who dropped off us in Maine on the chilly night in October! To everyone we met along the way who fed us, gave us a place to sleep, a warm shower, let us do laundry, and just had some great stories to tell about their own adventures! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
