At the Canadian border. I got in trouble for taking this photo...
Ride from Surrey, BC to Vancouver!
We finally hit the water as the weather started to clear up.
About a 1/2 mile from the wheel dip...our last ride as a whole team.
Leading the group to the beach!

Finally made it to Bourbon.
Walking to Granville Market
It seems fitting that it rained on our last ride together into Vancouver because thats exactly how we started this journey 68 days prior. Coincidentally by the time we reached the pacific the clouds parted to blue skies and it turned into a perfect afternoon just like the wheel dip at the Atlantic. It was perfect! We all stripped down and ran into the ocean, dipped our front tires, greeted our friends and family and then enjoyed a great BBQ.
Micheal & Diane headed up superlatives...I got most likely to call someone by, "hey, GIRL! or hey, BOY!." Ha
Vancouver is a beautiful yet very strange place. We are staying in the West End area. Its also the gayborhood. During the day everything seems normal but we went out last night and the feeling quickly changed. I've seen hookers, girls that are cracked out of their mind, and an enormous amount of homelessness. Drug dealers are everywhere. Despite all of this, its impressively clean.
Being here is cool but has made me miss NYC. Tomorrow we leave for the road trip home. We are stopping in Seattle, Portland, the red woods in CA, Moab, Breckenridge, Denver, Indiana, Columbus and then a long stretch onto to Jersey to drop off Kyle, see my parents and the restaurant, Philly to drop off Elvis and the trailer and then back to sweet, sweet NYC.
We are down to almost half of the group now and its getting sad seeing people go home. This has been an amazing journey with 31 incredible people and I am honored to have been able to spend the summer getting to know everyone. What an accomplishment! Bravo!
