The final day had team DVD (Dave, Viv and Debbie) and the A Team (Ay, Wot and Pardon) joining up and cycling as a six. That was fun, we should have tried it earlier! The support car became a convoy as Stuart arrived last night and was quickly joined by car 3 with director sportife John Lunn and Catriona. Catriona had sweetened him up enough to let us have 2 sit down stops. John S managed to make it. We were thinking we might have to make a cross by the side of the road. The other bloke (Bill?) was ther too giving it big hooooo haahs. Hills what hills? Bit breezy in the afternoon but heads down and bums up and we're there. Alison was worried about getting a reputation so sat on the front all day. I thought I'd soiled my shorts. Stuart 'Litchfield' Prentice made sure we have several hundred souvenir photos and didn't pay for any of them.



Serously though big thanks to John, John, Stuart and Bob. It's a real cliche but we really couldn't have done it without them.



900 miles in 11 days with a headwind all the way. It will grow with time but that's the raw numbers for now.

Alison is already planning to better it next year, the rest of us are quite pleased with ourselves.

p.s. What goes on tour stays on tour!
