Ride 48 - 15 Dec 2019
Distance 25.1 km (Distance to date 1532.7 km)
Time 2hrs 11mins (Time to date 108hrs 12mins)
Put a fork in me........I'm DONE!!!
Since February 2019, I have dreamed of this ride. I'd had all sorts of thoughts about how to end and how I'd mark the occasion. In the end, I planned nothing. With my wife heavily pregnant, the rides were becoming a burden and adding a celebration just didn't seem fair.
In the end, fate gave me an ending; albeit a simple one. The final metre of my final street was this...................
The last ride was a cold one, with the night's frost melting away as the sun hit.
On the way there I also achieved a bucket list level accomplishment!!!
Being early meant that downtown wasn't busy, great for a cyclist wanting to meander about looking for his last few random finds of this adventure.
Points of Interest.....
Everyone Belongs in Nature (48.42646, -123.35769)
A kick ass mural in the downtown core, hidden away in a car park. Annoyingly I didn't get a picture of the whole wall!
Vancouver Island Map (48.424219, -123.368178)
The most useful street art I have ever encountered. You could pretty much navigate the island from this!
Finishing Bike (48.42646, -123.35769)
My personal gift from the cycling gods! (although it remains the property of Bastion Books)
