17.5 miles, +317/-525 feet

Pleasure Bay Beach, Boston!

Much cooler this morning as we left the hotel for the final ride to Pleasure Bay Beach….BUT….spirits could not be dampened.  This was the last link in the cross country journey from coast-to-coast.  It was time to go!

Through Waltham and onto the Charles River Parkway, the riders enjoyed the river, boat houses and unique architecture along the path.  Over the highway on a walking bridge and through downtown Boston to Pleasure Bay Beach.  And, as we said every morning, SHAZAM, the journey was over as quickly as it began, with a wheel dip in the ocean.  Only now, there are the memories of seven weeks on the road.
