Last day is here

I can't believe it. The last day is here. I've found it difficult to sleep. I'm very excited.

It's been a spectacular journey with lots of emotions.

I've felt exhausted and weak, strong and determined. I've felt foolish at choosing to do such a difficult task at my age. I've felt stronger than some younger cyclists I've met along the way. I've felt frightened and apprehensive, I've felt humbled by the faith my family and friends have in me to step up to the task and complete it. I have felt a hero in my own life.

I want to thank all the people who have sponsored me, encouraged me and supported me in so many ways.

I especially want to thank John who put me on a bike when I was in my forties. He has given me a great gift that has given me so many positive life affirming experiences. Thank you.

Now for the last sixty or so miles.
