Final stretch and feeling much better after spending the night in Harper's Ferry and the B&B. Met a guy riding from Kansas that had already done 1,500 miles averaging 50 mi per day. Encountered another bridge wash out and decided to take our chances crossing on a railroad bridge vs. a 12 mile sun-drenched scorching detour. Luckily, no trains passed as we scurried across. Saved hours and gallons of sweat. Started feeling much better as I could almost taste being home. Dan faded though and had a tough time. Wanted to stop and get pictures at mile 0 in Georgetown, but with all the building and changes, couldn't get any closer than Lock 1. Good enough! Did over 200 miles on tough muddy trails averaging 10 mph and 7 hours in the saddle every day. Lost 5 lbs of body weight and have a raw butt. It was a great trip. Had a blast.
