Almost at the end now and it has been a real roller coaster but short of an accident they are going to make it now. Today's ride was surprisingly tough taking 8 hours in all and although the boys will be relieved when it is all over I'm sure they will be sad as well.
What will they do with themselves when they no longer have to spend hours every night on the turbo trainer? What will Nick's next crackpot idea be?!! (this one was actually Matt's though)
It is surprising to remember that their long distance cycling only started in 2010 when Chris came home from Uni for Christmas and said he would quite like to cycle from Land's End to John O'Groats. We all laughed when he went back and said he'll never do it but then Nick started thinking..........
Here we are 3 years later having done Land's End to John O'Groats followed by John O'Groats to Land's End in 2011, followed by the Etap (a single stage of the Tour de France route) in 2012, followed by the whole thing in 2013! What kind of a family of over achievers are we?!!! (quote from Chris after reading someone's Christmas round robin letter one year)
There will be lots of catching up over the next few days so please keep looking in.
