Editor's Note: Pop the champagne corks, folks: Emily and Paul finished the ride! They are now waiting in line to dip their back bike wheels in the Mississippi.
Em says:
We arrived 1 p.m. sharp. We're done.
(I asked her by text message if she could believe it. She wrote back):
No, can't believe it has been a week. It is all a blur. I'm in shock and happy to be off my bike and walking!
More to come later.
