Yesterday afternoon, Across
America accomplished their massive, 55-day ride from the Pacific Ocean in
Oregon to the Atlantic Ocean in New York City!
The Trekkers blasted through a
106 mile final 24 hour push through hills, dips and New York City traffic
before arriving to the Atlantic Ocean boardwalk. Despite getting about 4
hours sleep, the cyclists were beyond excited to have accomplished their 3,500+
mile ride.
The determined group completed their
Trek to Coney Island's beach with a joyous crowd of family eagerly waiting. After taking a quick
dip in the ocean, everyone headed to a nearby restaurant for some gourmet NYC
pizza. It was a thrilling afternoon for the cyclists and the families to
celebrate such a massive accomplishment.
It has been amazing to
watch a group of strangers unite and become a force of strength through
mountains, rain, hail (!!), deserts, forests and thousands of miles.
Across America was a whirlwind
ride of a lifetime, and we send our congratulations to everyone.
Teen Treks wishes you all the
very best as you part ways, even out your tans and catch up on sleep. Have a
wonderful summer!
To all of the Trekkers,
Leaders, families, friends, strangers, bike shop employees and everyone in
between: THANK YOU!
Way to go Across America!
