The last post

Safely home...

 I was waiting a long time to take this shot.

 The vital stats.

 Bertha reassembled with fresh rubber and brake pads. Thanks Dad for the lift from the airport!

 Thanks Mum for a wonderful cake.  

 Thanks sister Becky for another cake, also exquisite.

 A successful tour relies on good campcraft, passing on tips to Rosa (thanks sister Liz for producing a delightful niece!).

 This award really meant a lot to me. Thank you Year 11s for thinking of me even when I deserted you for a year. You are a fantastic year group and I know you will go on to do great things. Long bike rides await you!

Finally, the most important thing to come out of this blog is all the generous donations to OXFAM. The fundraising page will be open for another whole month. Don't miss out on the opportunity to help make a fairer world, let's rid our planet of poverty.

Hope you've enjoyed the ride!
