We did it! Another really tough day. Hills, hills and more hills! Cornwall is hilly! We had relaxed the night before a little and spirits were high. Came down with a thud the next morning and there was still a lot of cycling and climbing to do. For the first twenty miles my legs were like lead! By the time I got to Mousehole Hill, which is a bit brutal, I was ready for the challenge and managed to get up it all in one go (by standing and doing some of Colin’s dancing)!
We all regrouped once we got near Land’s End.
Antonius had a puncture one mile from the finish but fixed it in record time.
We then rode into Land’s End at 4.30pm. It was a great feeling to complete the ride!
A celebration dinner in the evening. Everyone very tired but elated. A fantastic fireworks display courtesy of Nigel C. Moving speeches by Nigel H, Lorraine and Pip.
My enormous thanks to everyone who has supported me on my adventure and The Rob George Foundation. Over £50,000 raised to help young people in desperate need.
