The end of the ride (Matt blogging on Sian's phone)

We made it! We passed the final ordeals of punctures, biting flies and riding road bikes on gravel (including Ted falling off 500m from the house)

Over 16 days we've cycled 1915km, eaten 40 breakfasts, used 56,000 k calories (& almost certainly consumed more), suffered 12 punctures, 1 trashed tyre, 1 car incident and remained good friends. The support team have been fantastic, putting up with our endless stats, providing Thunderbird support and reminding us of Rule 5 often enough to keep us going.
