Day 8 - 57 miles - 4:10 hours

Today was the final day of us cycling the Blue Ridge Parkway for a Cause. Overjoyed and kind of sad at the same time I am feeling after having completed the last 57 miles of our journey. They led us from Milepost 412 (Wagon Road Gap) to the final Milepost 469 in Cherokee, NC.

Yes, we made it. The final day brought with it again many different variations of weather, and left us happy and proud of our achievement, in awe of the beautiful nature,

and greatful that all went so well and smoothly.

This last stage was one of the most beautiful and joyful ones. Beautiful, because the scenery and vistas are breathtaking and the weather cleared up 2 hours into our ride. Joyful, because it's full of exciting downhills and - most importantly - our legs were feeling super motivated to ride up the final climb up to Waterrock Knob. Plus, the last ten miles my belly was filled with this lovely feeling of anticipation of a major achievement: undescribably sweet!

Have fun viewing the pictures of our end-to-ender-celebration
