Day 7 is all about the excitement of going over the finish line. The route was changed and the finish was at City Hall, so even veterans, especially those not from LA didn't know what to expect. This can be good, as it's nice to have a change, but also frustrating at the same time, not knowing what to expect.
On the way to Rest Stop 1 is a pull out with a mini outdoor museum of Navy planes. Tom & Isabelle found each other there and rode together the rest of the day. We all had a nice surprise in the repaved road most of the first 15 miles which used to be a mess.
First time we've had 5 finish together. Jan, Laura, Julio & Tom all crossed together.
As we crossed we were announced as the PG&E team with tidbits of info about us.
Or so we were told. I don't think most of us heard it in the excitement and cheering, but our families did.
Mary & Larry, who worked as Minion Sweeps all week crossed about the same time (by sheer coincidence) in the Roadie shute.
Isabelle got so excited at the slight downhill, she flew ahead of the rest of us to finish.

David & Emilia crossed right behind them.
