So...we made it!

The memory loss continues and I cant actually remember how we did it, but we did. 900+ miles in 8 days is some achievement and I think I am struggling to get my head around that right now.
The ride has had ups and downs. Not once did I want to get on my bike in the morning, but once going I enjoyed it. Looking back now, it has been great. A real experience and something that I will always remember.

We need to thank my Dad (Howard) as we could not have done this without his support. The thought that he was waiting within a mile from you at any point was great and a real comfort. Thanks to the boys for their encouragement and the fun that we had along the way. Thanks also to the team that joined us from Warrington to Kendal - it was great riding with you also. Finally, thanks to all of the wonderful (and generous) people that we met at the places that we stayed. You have been so kind and your support has been brilliant and has helped make our trip.

Every day we went through the pain barrier, both physically and mentally, but for me the thought of our goal of the school at Memusi kept me going. The physical and mental pain that we have suffered over these last few days is nothing in comparison to the suffering that the children of the Maasai will without the gift of education.

2 days post completion and I am back on the bike. Not 100 miles, but it was nice to get out. Strange though not to have my team with me. The pain is now going and thoughts are going through my mind of what is next. Watch this space!

Thanks to all for your kind support and donations towards our cause. Without you our work would be nothing. Thankyou!
