On a brisk and bright October morning, Bill, Tony and I began our final ride on the Bay Circuit Trail. Only 21 miles of the 206-mile journey remained before we would reach the southern terminus at Bay Farm in Duxbury. As with previous rides, this one did not go smoothly and we encountered overgrown trail, numerous blowdowns and a road closure due to bridge construction. Still, we were not deterred and reached the Atlantic Ocean at 11:32 on the moring of October 12, 2024.
