Thanks to Everyone

Hello everyone,

After a couple of days I think that I'm just beginning to feel normal again. The thighs have stopped burning and the lower regions have stopped hurting!

All three days of the ride were absolutely amazing, we saw some beautiful places, had plenty of laughs and hopefully raised a wad of cash for Macmillans. So, if you put some money in then thanks a lot, all of us have been touched by the generosity shown by our friends and families.

You couldn't ask for a better bunch of lads to accompany you on a ride like this than Carl, Doug, Jim, Pete, Steve and Jonny. Always joking and messing about. I think at one point, on the peak near Allenheads, Steve and I were crying with hysterical laughter as we were pelted by stinging, cold rain and ridiculous high winds.

I'll post a video in a couple of weeks when I've put it together so keep looking.

I'm off for a beer on the balcony. Ooh! Did I mention I was in Spain in 40 degree loveliness? It's a long way from Allenheads.

Rich

A gravel bike is the best choice for gravel roads. They have larger tires, but are lighter and easier to control. You can choose between gravel and mountain bikes with different tire pressures. For more information on bike guides, read me.
