Our final leg, the trip is about to come to an end. We had to be in Key West by 11:30 am, and because the road to Key West is two lanes it will take us a good three hours to get there. We left the hotel at approximately 6:30 am. The nice thing about living so early is being able to see the sun coming up as we ride by the ocean. We took a small break in Marathon and moved on. We arrived in Key west at 11:00 am. We checked into our hotel and get picked up by Key west PD at 12:00 to do our last ride as a group, we ride to the most Southern point in the US, mile marker 0 (90 miles from Cuba)This marks the official end of our journey. Some of our guys jumped in the ocean. Later that evening we had a banquet, were each rider received an award for completing the ride. Carl also received an award for being the oldest rider in our group, it was needless to say that Chuck and I were not the only ones that were proud of him. As awards were passed out and stories were told we all came to realize that we've become a family, that we all had new brothers and sisters and that it was going to be hard to say goodbye the next day. After the banquet we all got together and visited some of the most famous establishments of Key West, it was funny but everywhere we went people seem to recognize us and wanted to talk to us about our trip. We finished the night by saying goodbye to some of the groups that were leaving early in the morning, we decided to leave around 9:00 am after a long night. We were ready to come home.
