Hi everyone - well it has been three weeks from the end and I have finally felt that I should be back on my bike. Today I had a quick whizz round Canvey Island and then down onto Southend seafront to Torpe Bay and then back to Chalkwell, A127 to Rayleigh Weir and then onto Rayleigh and home. I really enjoyed it being back in the saddle. You sometimes look at the ride from John O'Groats to Lands End and realise that as the money is now coming in the whole ride has been worth it. Especially when it looks as though the total to be donated to the three charities is in excess of £3000. I will soon list all of the groups that have made this total possible when I have finally tallied it all and will then send out certificates to those groups and organisations. In the meantime you all deserve a pat on your backs for reaching such a total. Thanks - Thanks - Thanks and a thousand Thanks as well as thanks to my riding partner - even if it was only the 356 miles in Scotland - Mike Cocks and once again Alan Buxton for the sterling job he did as my support driver.
I am going to keep the blog running as I am hoping in the future to do another ride - maybe London to Paris - we'll see. If you want to know more about the ride I can be contacted at end2end12@gmail.com
