We had ongoing hills for most of the day. Our goal today was Worcester which is within the commuter trains for Boston. Many people told us the traffic is very bad and a lot of detours because of road construction from there to Boston. The commuter train let bikes on during nonrush hour. It was a smooth trip into Boston. We went through the town of Framingham (famous for the heart study that identified cardiac risk factors). The subway we needed did not accept bikes so we rode to our destination. Boston has bike lanes but still takes lots of concentration for safe biking.
The B&B where we are staying is very nice. It is walking distance to Fenway park. We called today and they had 2 nights available. The kitchen was full of goodies to "help ourselves (see pix). We celebrated with a Thai dinner.
We will sleep in tomorrow and see the town on foot. The bikes are safe in the B&B garage.
So our big days of riding are complete. It has been a great trip with many blessings. We fly home on Monday. When we go to Salem in a few days we will retrieve the bikes. We have arranged for a bike store to box them and ship them back to Oregon.

Wow you did it. Now to catch that ball game right. That was one of the rewards at the end of the trail.
I had been wondering how you would get your bikes home. You hate to part with them since they carried you so far. Maybe they would like to be put out to pasture too though after this trip.
Are you already laying the plans for the next "Esperson Adventure" and what mode of transportation it include.
What great memories you have made. I will look to purchase the book in paperback! We will continue to keep you in our prayers even thought the biggest part of your adventure is behind you.
Congratulations on a grand adventure and an accomplishment few can tell about.
Halleluia!! You 2 are awesome! We are happy to know you are safely off the roads. Looks like you had a pleasant ending. We will be curious to see how you re-cap this amazing experience and look forward to seeing you back on the west coast!
Love,
The Struchens
