After Rick completed his journey of riding a bicycle around the perimeter of the USA, Sandi and Rick started an even more exciting journey when he proposed to Sandi on the beach outside of the Rosarito Beach Hotel on August 20, 2019, the last day of the ride. Sandi's first thought when Rick went to his knees on the beach was that after having ridden from Vancouver to Tijuana, this was a horrible time and place for him to be suffering a heart attack. Since they had been together for more than 16 years with no discussion of getting married, being proposed to was the last thing on Sandi's mind. When Rick's words finally registered and Sandi realized that Rick was on his knees to ask her to marry and not because his heart had given out, Sandi first laughed with relief and then immediately said, "Yes!." A new journey was then started.
