I did it people. Cycled every inch too. No support bus or walking for me. Although I felt like it more than once! It was way harder than expected with several never ending mountain passes, 112c heat, monsoon weather at the end & coming off first day! That's gotta be worth a fiver surely??!

2 MORE SLEEPS! COME ON PEOPLE LAST PUSH, PLEASE HELP THE CAUSE XXX
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. Here's what I'm up to & why...
Cycle China is a five-day, 450kms ride through the countryside of the Beijing province, alongside rivers and through steep gorges, past tiny villages, ancient tombs and historical landmarks. We will see a China few westerners go to and experience cycling alongside the Great Wall. Overall the terrain will be varied with hills up to 8kms long. The 10th Women for Women ride will be very challenging & will earn every penny of sponsorship raised.
Women for Women raises funds to train women scientists and clinicians to work at the Wolfson & Weston Research centre, to improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a range or devastating conditions which cause genetic diseases, miscarriage, infertility, cancer and brain damage.
The fundamental aim is to improve women’s health and to ensure that more women have a normal pregnancy with a healthy baby. With up to 250 babies dying every week in the UK alone from complications during pregnancy, their work has never been so essential for women and babies worldwide.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So please dontate to the cause now! Go on, you know you want to :0)
