THE LAST 100 KM's.
What an emotional day. The weather forecast said rain all day, but we woke to a beautiful sunshiny day! This was the most emotional ride of the trip. We were so excited, and yet so sad that it was almost over.
I found myself laughing one moment, and crying the next. Such a weird day that way.
We are so amazed that we accomplished such a HUGE task! But we did it. We actually made it. We rode 6,300 km across the most beautiful country on earth, and at the same time the most punishing and grueling terrain you could ever imagine.
Each day we battled the elements, be it snow, rain, thunder and lightning, extreme heat... We battled the hills, the tough roads, the big semi trailer trucks, the wandering motor-homers, the texting teens.
We navigated our way through the country and managed to find the little FrenchFry and Poutine stands, the corner stores and the quiet roads. And even though it proved to be the hardest thing we have ever done in our lives, we loved every minute of it and will cherish the memories for the rest of our lives.
Thank you so much to everyone who supported us each and every day. We love you!
We still need to reach our goal of $250,000 and hope we have proved to the world that we really want to make a difference to the children in Ethiopia.
Let's all dig just a little deeper and make a contribution to help make it happen!

CONGRATULATIONS! What an amazing feat for both of you. And thank you so much for your heart and efforts for kids in Ethiopia!
