Lucy and Paul's Big Ride

1000 Miles - John O'Groats to Land's End







Friday 10 June 2011

Day 13 The Final One! Cambourne to Land's End. 26 miles.

Lucy and Paul fly off at 8 am into a veritable rain storm. Pat releashed from Dad duties drives to the end , jumps on his bike and cycles back towards them. The weather is appalling .... absolutely lashing it down. We miss each other one team going on the bypass, and me (Pat) nipping through the town of Penzance. Needless to say Paul says "Time trial it". I meet up with them and we cycle together the last few miles. Paul and Lucy high 5 as they run down the last 100 metres........ and they've finished. Chris's family ( Sue, Barry, James , Caroline and little Logan ) are there to welcome them over the line. The second welcoming party arrive moments later ( Lynda, Ruth, baby Alex, Ellis and Ewan)
A fantastic achievement for the Dynamic Duo. Well done!
In fact when you think about it their first day started at 5pm and lasted 2 hrs , the last day they rode for 3, therefore we can surmise that this fantastic duo di it in 12 days! A truly amazing feat of endurance. Anyone know of a good knee surgeon for Lucy?
Thank you to all the people who have given so generously to St. Ann's Hospice.
