Well, it’s hard to believe, but tomorrow will be our last ride. We have a nice, short 30 mile ride to do tomorrow to roll into our final farm destination of River Berry Farm in Fairfax, VT. This summer, we’ve cycled 4500 miles (I don’t have the exact number because my odometer broke in the last week…er!) and have visited more than 40 farms. Tonight, we are spoiling ourselves in a Best Western in Plattsburgh, NY, partly in early celebration for tomorrow…not only is tomorrow the last day of our ride, it is also our one year wedding anniversary! We are excited to be celebrating our Root Ride finish and anniversary with my aunt and uncle and cousins, who own and operate River Berry Farm.
As we ate dinner tonight - burgers at the Ground Round made with all natural beef from our last farm - Kilcoyne Farms, we reminisced on all the amazing people we have met this summer. We are not sure how we can fully thank all of you for being part of the incredible adventure, but we plan to take a lifetime to do so - sharing what we’ve learned and what we have seen with anyone who wants to listen.
You’ll be with us on this last ride as we send you all our thoughts!
THANK YOU EVERYONE!
Dear Becky and Darren,
Have a wonderful (and safe) ride into River Berry Farm! You two have experienced so much and now have so much to share from this incredible journey. We add a very special thank you to everyone along your ride for being there for you two and for sharing their homes, farms, and knowledge with you. Happy Anniversary tomorrow! I’ll see you at Jane, David, Huck, and Ada’s!
With our love, Mom and Dad
Wow 4500 miles, that is amazing, even more so with the massive loads you were carrying. Well done both of you and I hope this is just one of many wonderful adventures together.
Happy anniversary too!
WOW, what an amazing ride! Happy Anniversary! This has been a great education for my girls. We\’ve been following you the map of the U.S. that is posted in their room. We look forward to your next adventure! Take Care, Chia
Thanks Mr. Piper! And thanks for your company through the hottest part of our trip! Perhaps we’ll roll into you again, somewhere on the road, somewhere in the world! Ride on!
