Northern Tier Day 56!
🚴 39.1 mi, 1,385 ft�
📍 Standish, ME → Portland, ME
🗺️ 4000+ of 4000 miles — WE MADE IT!
We did it! From Seaside, Oregon to Portland, Maine, we crossed the entire country, over 4000 miles from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Saturday's final ride took us from Standish to Portland, where we stopped at Portland Head Light to celebrate the journey and dip our tires in the ocean. Most of the bikes on this trip have now touched both coasts of this beautiful country!
It's hard to put 56 days into words. There was rain, mud, mountains, headwinds, and more climbing than we can count (over 150,000ft), but there was also more beauty, generosity, and community than we could have ever imagined. Thank you to every host, every church, and every person who fed us, cheered us on, and gave us a place to rest.
