I can't imagine many people will get to read my final entry for the Ride Across America but for some closure and to reflect a little I thought I would go ahead and post it.
I am humbled and grateful to have been able to do something of this magnitude. My wonderful wife worked much harder than I did and I want her to know how much I appreciate her sacrifice. To my mom, you are an inspiration. Dad, thanks for supporting me and teaching me to dream. Mikey and Blake, thanks for believing in me and loving me enough to tell me the truth even when it hurts. To David Roark, thanks for chronicling our incredible journey on your impeccable blog. You truly are the consummate cyclist and a fine man on top of that (not to mention someone who can bust me up so bad I can't pedal my bike). Judd, thanks for your strong laughter and strong legs. Iain, what an encouragement you are. You live out the christian life life few I have ever seen. Kirk, thanks for putting this blog together and investing yourself in it! Jesus, thanks for giving me hope, peace, strength, forgiveness, wisdom and a great life. Without you this wouldn't have been possible.

Rob,
Glad I ran into you over Memorial Day. Congratulations on a great accomplishment. I enjoyed following your ride on the net and was glad to see you share your faith with so many.

Rob, thanks for doing a final entry. You know, I was a little anxious about a "final" blog. You and Jess are both such an inspiration to the rest of us out here. Thanks for being that inspiration. I'll make sure Mikey sees this entry....he's sleeping....imagine that! HK
