Hi to everyone who sponsored me on my recent ride to Amsterdam in aid of the National Autistic Society. As you will see your contributions have mounted up.

We finished this superb ride on Sunday 4 May, and to prove it you can see me pictured with some of the friends I made en route. Yes, I am the only girl in the picture.

The Essex stretch was slightly harder than I anticipated - where on earth did Essex get the reputation for being flat? There were a alot of hills between Stansted and Harwich - and some big buggers among them as well.

The ride from Hook of Holland to Amsterdam was delightful; fast, flat and we had fantastic weather. I even managed to ride up front with the bike guide AND I was a marker ( a job not entrusted to just anybody I'll have you know)

I also met 9 fab guys who were great company and prevented me from being a Billy no mates so a big thank you to Paul, Andrew, Panos, Pankash, Bayerz, Stuart, David, Wayne & Trevor.  

I enjoyed it so much I am going to do it all again in September for Help the Aged - don't worry I'll let you all know about it.

Love and thanks

from

Jill
