We are closing this contribution page today. A big big thank you to all of you that have contributed. Fantastic. Many thanks from Dale and Keith and all the Barcelona Team. Thanks.

Dale and Keith have returned home after a 12 day return trip from Barcelona. It was pretty tough in the 40+c heat and having to dodge forest fires in Les Landes. "Many thanks to the whole team who took part in the 1st section, great company, riding and the atmosphere in Barcelona was electric. A special thanks to Bingo for accompanying me on the journey home" "Lads, thanks for a great tour, its been a honour to ride with you all and thanks for supporting both worthy causes. Here's to the next one."

Well they only went and did it! They arrived after a long day with an early ascent and then a long long and hot descent to the city where wives and girlfriends were waiting. Congratulations to all the team. Superb riding and fabulous support from Eric in the van. After a glorious weekend enjoing the beaches , bars and restaurants of Barcelona everyone hyas turned for home. Some by plane and some in the minibus. Dale and Keith however are continuing to ride. They will now cycle back cycle-touring without support from the minbus. Good luck.
