Well we made it, and I didn't push my bike once!! It was a fantastic and humbling experiance, but also very challenging at times. I would like to thank all the co-cyclists, who were so supportive of us novices. We learnt a lot from them about cycling and they kept our spirits up through out the whole trip. I also want to thank David for his support, humour and encouragement along the way. I would not have done it without him by my side (actually he was ahead of me most of the time!)

As I hit my 50th birthday this year, I wanted to do something challenging and amazing, yet also raise money for a local charity. Huntingdon Society for The Blind is a small charity with a big heart, which supports blind and partially sighted people in the local area both in a very practical, but also caring way. I feel I have fulfilled the main aim of the trip.

Many thanks to all of you who have helped me to raise over £2,500, and also to those people yet to donate........
