This morning dawned cool and a little overcast for our last day's ride.  Marcia Stein, the CEO of the Young Survival Coalition, one of our US beneficiaries, met us at the hotel to join us for this special day's ride.
 
A short ride up the freeway before cutting across through the wine country once more to the beautiful town of Sonoma.  We stayed for an hour so for a coffee to warm up, to stroll around the beautiful main square, and chat to the locals.
 
Just before noon we saddled up again, doing a couple of laps of the square so the local paper could take some photos for a story.  By the time we left the cloud had burnt off, and it was a beautiful blue sky and warm day once more.  We rode just a few miles down the road for a visit to one of the best known local wineries, Gloria Ferrar. 
 
No champagne tasting was possible since we had to get back on the road, but quite a few of the riders picked up a bottle for the night of celebration ahead.
 
On the road again it was an hour of fast freeway riding, with all of our week's work and practice at our group riding formation paying off as we effortless changed lanes, exited and merged, to stay together as a group all the way to Walnut Creek.
 
Riding up the driveway we saw pink balloons all around, and smiles and tears from waiting friends and family.  At last our epic journey was an at end - all that remained was to hand back the keys of the bikes, and celebrate our achievement together over lunch, before tearful goodbyes.
 
The 1,000 miles of our journey were a life changing adventure for all who too part - thank you to the family, friends, colleagues and communities who supported each rider to make the starting line, the support of those we met along the way, and the incredible assistance of Harley-Davidson and its dealers, without whom none of this would be possible.
