As You Bike It
246.9 Miles or 397.3 KM
24hrs 17mins on the saddle
We all did it!
On a journey of self discovery from Stratford to Amsterdam, we got lost (some of us more than once), broke bits of bike, Phil perfected the 0 mph crash. We survived the A134 in Suffolk at 5.30 on a Friday, Vince attacked at least one hill, we were overtaken by two men in suits and a lady cycling in heels carrying a cello, but we stuck together for three days to reach Weesp on the other side of Amsterdam!
A huge thank you to everyone that rode with us - including Craig and the other Simon on the Harwich Leg. Rachel, Becky, Darren and Kate for superlative support driving. and to Dean and Carol for their excellent administrative work.
Pain is only weakness leaving the body. Apparently.
(Thanks for that one Matt)
