Final Day

Well I think Jim has pretty much said it all. Great adventure, excellent company. Hopefully Bob has succeeded in getting to DC.

There were at least two days when I seriously wondered if I would make it. As people keep pointing out I'm not 25 any more! The last 2 days were hard going as my knees decided it was their turn to hurt. However despite not being able to put any load on them the flat trail meant I could find a gear combination that would keep me rolling even if I did have to get off and walk up any inclines.

This was my first attempt at biking a distance like this so I am pleased to have completed it. For the next one I have a good idea of what to expect and how to train for it.

Many thanks to Jim for all his hard work planning the trip and inviting me along for the ride!! Also to Eva and Anita for holding the forts so we could venture forth on our trusty steeds!
