The End of the Road...Greenway, That Is

November 3, 2004 ~ Key West, Florida

Well, it's officialy over! The riders glided into Key West just before noon, and as you'll hear in their audio posts, they completed the tour with exuberence, to say the least. After 53 days and roughly 2,800 miles of bicycling, the First ECG Maine to Florida Tour has come to an end. Of course, this tour is just the beginning for a new era in the development of the East Coast Greenway. Over the next six years we will work diligently to "close the gaps" and have 80 percent of the trail off-road by 2010. If you've been following the tour and are interested in the Greenway, please become a member and support our efforts to build a safe route from Canada to Key West.
