I had sort of figured the last day of riding might feel like a slog, as much of it was on roads cutting across the state from the coast inland to Raymond. This was also forecast to be the hottest day of the trip, with temperatures approaching 9 and humidity at levels that we denizens of the West Coast are not used to.
Still, it ended up being a most enjoyable day of riding.

We did ride on quite a number of delightful little country roads, but one also has to appreciate the route instructions to "Turn onto Abandoned Railway". Clearly another patch of delightful dirt :)
Given the heat, we stopped mid-day for a cold beverage. Nim and I were amused that even Chad succumbed to an icy slushy frozen coffee beverage, given that he is usually such an espresso purist. Granted, this was a not-overly-sweetened icy slushy frozen coffee beverage from a shop more independent than the usual ubiquitous Starbucks.
All in all, we rode some 350 miles. Good job to the teenager! Now I just need to plot the next trip.
