The statistics
The official distance is 1060 miles, with a total of 23000 meters climbed overall. That's 2.5 mount Everests in 17 days. So anyone who thought we had it easy can think again. If, as you should be, you're impressed, just a reminder the charity site remains open too.
Coming down slowly
After the elation and celebration of our successfully accomplishing the trip, comes the slow return to reality. The coach journey to Edinburgh came down the east coast, which thank heaven, we didn't have to cycle. The hills were horrendous, but the coastal views were great. Safely delivered to Edinburgh, after a no.or linguistic difficulty, involving the difference between "bikes" and "bags" we settled into our hotel, and a good meal. Food no longer regarded as fuel. This morning the mournful duty of packing the bikes and going home. The blog will remain open for some time to allow all the team members to reflect on the trip, and add any pictures, compromising or otherwise, that they choose. So fans, and followers stay tuned.

The target for which we"ve all striven
Would be much more easily driven
I can hardly recall
Why I startedat all
But getting here..? Well this is heaven

As the peleton rolled into Tongue
They knew the lap bell had rung.
Only sixty three miles
Till they broke out in smiles
And victory anthems were sung
