We rode 65 miles today, cutting our planned route short due to the weather. We had originally planned on traveling into Georgia, but we stopped in Roanoke, near the state line, due to the heavy storms that are around us.
I attempted to post a two-day summary, Days 31 and 32, but evidently the post has been misplaced somewhere on this page (you might look along the top menu and be able to locate this wandering entry – give me some help here Chris Ballay).
We are now about 350 miles from our destination. I believe our weather is going to improve drastically the next few days. All we need is a few good days and we can really get this thing just about wrapped up. Our plan is to meet Beth, Carol, and a group of friends from Toledo in South Carolina, near Edisto Beach. We are really looking forward to completing this trip.
I am in the hotel lobby of the Key West Inn in Roanoke. The tornado alarms are sounding outside so I am going to cut this off. I will try to add to this post later tonight or tomorrow.

Hang in there guys. Don’t get swept up. You’re almost done.

Hope you guys are safe in this wind . . . we are blowing away in Toledo! Tornado touchdown in Perrysburg yesterday about noon and now Sylvania is rocking and rolling!! Looking forward to seeing you both on Monday (or whenever you arrive)! What an awesome experience this has been for you both! Can’t wait to hear all about it!! Travel safe!!
So glad you are both safe and not letting the storms stop you. I am still amazed at this journey and life changing experience. God speed for the remainder of the trip and enjoy your celebration with Beth and all of your friends waiting at the finish!!! Continued prayers always. Connie
You guys are a little too close for comfort with all the tornadoes down there. God speed. Should be all down hill to the coast!
WE have been really worried about you guys..Hang in there,you are almost done. Talked to Beth and she said you were OK..There have been some crazy storms along your way..Looks like they were following you..By the loooks of the weather maps,you should be OK the rest of the way..Love yu
Thomas,
I like what you wrote.
I like and respect what you did in your bicycle ride across the continent.
August Ballay would have liked it too.
Now for the Appalachian Trail, follow the spring northward or follow the fall southward.
You now have several books in your head and you tell a good story; so write, write, write. And publish your book about your trip.
Your friend,
Tom Sylvest, (the old one;-)
Hi Thomas!
It has been a long time. Great blog, great trip.
