They Have Done It!!!!! Congratulations Lads

They made it. Was approx 2.30pm (3.30pm their time). It has been an amazing experience and people have been wonderful. Found out there was approx 150 in their group and there were 2 groups. The lads were in the first group there. They had a bottle of wine when they got there, Pete had cycled through Paris with a bottle in his water holder on his bike! They now at the hotel and getting ready for their meal and celebration night. Well done lads, we are all proud of you, enjoy your evening and we will see you late tomorrow evening, no doubt tired but happy, and full of tales of your adventure.

    Just wanted to add a little something!! Thanks to Val for keeping us all updated on the blog!!

    Well just Shared dinner and a glass of Wine with my very tired dad, and hes been telling us all about it and all the story's from the people he's met, reasons there doing it and for which charity's.
    Anyway one story really touched me about a guy that was doing it for his dad, and from what he had told my dad he'd had an injury and had to have a number of weeks off, resulting in him only completing his target miles a week before they went!!! Anyway he'd found the first day really hard and as they rode through the home straight my dad saw him sitting on the grass obviously very tired and hot after completing the ride and my dad said to him " You did it mate" And he was obviously so overcome by emotion all he could reply was "I wish my dad was here"
    It just really touched me and made me realise people had completed it for all numbers of reasons and people, we can only begin to imagine the emotions they all felt!!
    So CONGRATULATIONS to Pete, Tony and Frank and off course to all the cyclists!! Im sure the money that has been raised will make a big diffrence to help others.
