"We have arrived in France - riding over 200 miles in 2 days!! 6 times I've fallen over clipped in to my bike with 3 very heavy bags, 2 very stiff legs and 1 very sore bum! Thankyou Dan, Marcus, Ash, Neil, Simon, Tom, Sarah and especially Xander for being amazing. We're off to Bruges tomorrow, cant wait. Donate, donate, donate!!!!"

Ill Pigs (birminghams A team) are sitting in Brussels listening to Jazz music whilst it rains and missing Neil!! Tomorrow we'll be in our fourth country already, we're heading to Best in The Netherlands. The first few days were really tough and long with a few mechanicals but we're making good time and having lots of fun. Photos on www.facebook.com/brumtoberlin. Ill Pigs special later. X

we're making good time and having lots of fun.

I love Jazz music as well : (

Hope you guys are taking lots of photos etc.

Yeah where the photos at?!

Over 700 Miles down. Three days Left and should Be in Berlin on schedule by Sunday! Painface. We got to Play Polo in Bremen last night. Woop woop. Its pouring down with Rain now though :( Most Photos will Upload when we get Home As we havent had much Internet (this keypad Hates me).

Chapeau you lot!
Rain washes away the pain.

Awesome stuff. When are you guys back in the UK? I assume you're taking some time out in Berlin to rest up and see the sites :)

Omg, how are you guys doing that? I can't seem to be able to cope with the sitting on the bike for so long and you can only stand so much.

Berlin is quite rainy for the last week but it looks a bit better for the weekend, particularly Sunday. Hope you may reach the good weather, as they say it's been an 'atypical' season this year and it's been 18 degrees and raining (leaving the UK to come on vacation here does not seem the best idea atm).

And congrats! I got maximum respect for you lot.

^^^^woohoo! keep it up kids :)

For anyone who hasn't seen on Facebook, they made it :)

Sorry for the delay w8th this post but we got in last night and went strqight out for beer and food to celebrate. berlin is super cool, and our host, matt, equally so. After a slow day on sunday due to bad weather and jess' deraileur refusing to change gear, and missing the ferry across the river by 12 minutes, we ended up wild camping in the woods next to the river. still 70 miles from berlin.

Matt and Andy stuck to the one gear with jess for the last two days, and yesterday we stopped for a lunchtime beer to celebrate reaching 900 miles and then did the last 60 km in the afternoon with the sun on our backs. (the first dry day) jess is in a bad way after the mosquitos in the woods, but other than that weee all good and the bikes too. 980 was the total milage, so please give us some more money. http://justgiving.com/brum​toberlin
