**updated - 12th August 2005**
Well I have been back for 3 weeks now, and it sadly feels like I was never away, except for the grade 4 haircut I continue to sport.
Key facts:
Total cycled - 1066 miles
Top speed - 48.1 mph
Average speed - 13.3 mph
Mountains climbed - 3
Metres climbed - 3406
The whole thing went without a hitch. We got really really wet on 3 days, scorched by sunshine for about 5 days and then pleasant / cloudy weather for the rest.
We ate, we cycled, we ate some more, we climbed and we slept. We met lots of friendly people, quite a few odd people and saw the most lovely and pituresque villages and vistas that made us realise how green and pleasant our land really is.
And we raised lots of money for charity so thank you all for sponsoring me, it was a great team effort, you should all be very proud.
