The poor weather made the ride alot harder, I was physically OK but at times the rain pushed me to my mental limits, I can total understand people calling it a day when it rains day after day....

My support crew helped me a lot at these moments, Thanks...

I hit my wall on day 6 with 18mph+ winds and rain going over the Pennines, my legs just couldn't push the bike any further after 58 miles...

Day 7 the clouds were covering The Pennines and Yorkshire Dales which was agreed too dangerous to cycle. The support crew and I agreed to move the route below the cloud line but at the same distance.

My best cycle day was day 9 from Swinscoe to Morcott which I averaged about 16.4 mph over a period of 4:38 and covered 76.03 miles. I did my fastest mile around 2 minutes at a near constant speed of 22-25 mph.

Day 10 got a bit lost, I came to a crossroad's and needed to head east. There so happened to be a policeman at a lay-by at the crossroad's, I asked which way to Colchester Essex which the policeman pointed me right. So being a trusty person I waited until my support car came with the map, which showed me that right was back to Cambridge (where I had come from) left was to Colchester... I went left....

Unlucky day 13, my left knee started to hurt when used for power, i.e. going up the hills, the knee never recovered during the event which slowed me down. The knee seems to have recovered a few days after the finish, but is still a bit stiff. The good news about today was I clocked 1,000 miles..

Day 15 towards Lands End, well I did it and covered the direct route by day 11, Most of the visiters at Lands End were waiting to greet me and give donations, Big thanks to all there.
