I am back! There was an exciting thunderstorm which woke me up a bit (and entirely killed off my phone, it was drowned within seconds). So happy to be in clean, dry clothes.
That was very annoying, I ate a ridiculous amount of food/energy powdered up water/caffeinated drinks/energy gels but kept nearly falling asleep on my bike for the last 45 miles, so I kept having to get off and rest. Left at 9pm Sat, got back just after 5pm today, so bloody ages (though that did include inadvertently falling asleep in some public toilets for an hour and getting lost several times due to being incapable of reading my own route directions, as well as the grillion rest stops) but at least I have something to improve on next time...
To echo Tom's sentiments, it was AWESOME seeing everyone on the way back - thanks for the brilliant cheerleading. plus I think nearly everyone on the entire Dynamo who didn't know me looked extremely amused/baffled that someone so unathletic looking was doing such a ridiculous thing, which cheered me up no end.
