Evidence

Here are the stats!

For those of you who like stats:-

• Money Donated  £8,595 + Gift Aid of £1,437 = £10,032
• Total Mileage 349.76 miles
• Total Time (includes Blackberry time)  32 hours 15 minutes
• Total Elevation Gain  20,847 feet
• Total Calories burned 23,618

For those who have been concerned about my diet the calories burned equate to 394.32 Milka Bars.  I consumed a grand total of 6 on my trip so I can afford to eat a few more.

A final thank you

I sort of can't believe it's done. I just need to say thank you to everyone really - those who have donated a total of #8,545 plus Gift Aid of #1,424 - so close to #10,000 .

I need to thank Nick and Bike & Run for the equipment and telephone support. David thanks for the training rides. Allissia for the time. Lucy for her impeccable timing last Friday!!!!!! Kirsty for looking after everything at work.

Everyone for the encouraging texts, IM's and e-mails over the past week. Despite spending most of my time by myself I never felt alone for a moment.

The stats may follow.

Arc de Triomphe

Nothing more to sy - it's done!

Tyre preservation

I need to make sure I don't have a Lewis Hamilton moment - speed is not important!

Oily hands after bike maintenance

They are going to love me at the hotel. Thanks Nick for calming me down and sorting out the chain set.

Paris in the distance

Taken completely by suprise - a moment to be shared but no-one to share it with!
