Day 104: The End!
That's it folks! This Spanish odyssey has come to an end and I've returned to
So having left San Diego, California, on the 24th March 2015, my most westerly point, I arrived in Bar Harbor, Maine, my most easterly point, some 154 days later on the 24th August 2015. The vital statistics are:
9,400 miles ridden
67.6 miles per riding day (average)
105,000 metres of ascent
9 punctures repaired
1 new front tyre
3 new rear tyres
2 oil changes
2 chains
1 new set of brake pads
17 rainy days
15 rest days
139 riding days
Items lost:
2 cycling caps
1 silk handkerchief
1 base layer
2 keys
1 key ring
1 nail clippers
Finally, this evening, I saw the sun for the first time since passing into Maine; it is just like being in Scotland!
