Sleep ... Bath.....Bed.

Well I was dropped off yesterday outside my house with bin bag's full of wet, muddy and smelly gear plus a bike that looked like it had been spray painted brown, I was greeted by a banner in my office window saying 'WELL DONE DADDY' and balloons in the others, making it all worth while.
I intended on grabbing a quick bite then catching up on the Olympics but as soon as I sat down I fell asleep for 2 hours, Bec and Hol's came home for big cuddles, some tea then in bed by 10.30.

I have to say that was the hardest thing I have done in a very, very long time, and if I had attempted it on my own no dought would have failed on the first day.
I have to say a big thank you to my fellow cyclists who spured me on and made the hell of parts of the journey bearable and possibly enjoyable, also when the going got easyer and we had the privilege of looking around and seeing what a fantastic part of the country we were in, made it better by good company and friendly banter.
Also a big thank you to Johnny 'the blogger' Whitwam for blogging, driving,and generally supporting us all with food, water and as it turned out invaluable technical assistance as the punctures, failing brakes, pedals hanging off could have put a stop to the ride at any point.

A big kiss to my 2 girls on big one small both off which were in my mind while slogging into a gail with driving rain at the top of yet another climb.

But most of all the biggest 'THANK YOU!!!' must go to you the people who have put there hands into there pockets to raise some money for a invaluable charity, and it means a lot to us.

Keep watching as there are loads more pic's, video's and blog's to come, Rich will be doing his 'Speilberg' magic on the video and hopefully there will be something available in a few weeks.

So in conclusion THANKS to everyone involved and those who have enjoyed reading about our pain and haven't parted with a penny....... come on a £5 isn't going to kill you, you would spend more than that getting a couple of drinks on a Saturday night, and this money WILL change someones life!!!!!
