That's it we did it!! Feeling justly proud, very relieved and much fitter than when we started.
Woke up to a fairly pleasant day and had a 2 hour 15 minutes ride to John o' Groats, 35 miles making the grand total of 894 miles. Feels good!!!!!!
It got a bit cloudy but there was a constant view of the sea all the way with just a few hills before the end, to test our resolve! John o'Groats was reached at 12.30pm and was altogether a great relief . There was also a modicum of excitement as we saw all the tourist buses there to welcome and cheer us in! No other cyclists there, so the reception must have been for us.
I maintained a certain amount of decorum, as befits a celeb, but Doron couldn't get the smile off his face and launched himself into a frenzy of souvenir buying and postcard writing. We completed our signings and photocalls and then wondered how we were going to get home!
There was the option of cycling to Thurso or taking a bus.......guess which we took! From Thurso tomorrow we bus it to Inverness and fly south.
May we say thank you to all our supporters and to all of you that sent us good wishes en route, they were much appreciated.
See you in London tomorrow!!
