The end is within sight


As I was crossing New Jersey heading toward New York City I came to a point were I could see the New York skyline and knew I was close to my journeys end. I felt relieved I had made it but a little sad knowing the end was within sight. And started singing God Bless America and thought about my bicycle ride across this great country.

God Bless America

Irving Berlin 1918

God bless America, land that I love

Stand beside her and guide her

Throught the night with the light from above

From the mountains to the prairies

To the oceans white with foam

God bless America, my home sweet home

From the mountains to the prairies

To the oceans white with foam

God bless America, my home sweet home

God bless America, my home sweet home

At that point point I realized I had cross this great country by bicycle. From the Pacific Ocean across the desert, mountains, prairie and more moutains to the Atlantic Ocean. All I had left to do was get to Coney Island after a victory lap around Cenral Park.
