Well done @WornCleat!

Finished.

Lovely afternoon for a ride.

Fantastic

Well done @WornCleat !

Well done, nice little softener for a tilt at tcr in the future....

Well done Clive. I'm bathing baby and putting her to bed so can't make it along, but thinking of you enjoying a pleasant summer evening in lmnh.
Looks like a nice day for a ride tomorrow!

It's a great feeling to say you are going to do something that's a bit difficult that you've never done before, and to do it. So enjoy the endorphin rush and start convincing yourself that you enjoyed every bit of it!

Needs more Post Office bivying and Tweeting about gooch issues.

Lovely work Clive!

I guess he is a little hungover to give the final write up .

I very much doubt it. I hope he is enjoying a lie in.

No, he's probably half way to Cambridge on auto pilot.

well done Clive. Absolutely excellent stuff. Shame I couldn't get to lmnh to buy you a beer and hear more about the riding. Had boring transport problems getting back from a ride. If only everything was as reliable as the bike.

He's sleeping off all that green tea and fizzy water from last night. If you ever want to see a man overindulge, watch Clive drink green tea.

Wait, he's been dot-watching. :)

You squirrel murdering bastard, Clive.

I've really enjoyed the blogs. This last one is quite emotional, what a journey.

I particularly liked the part about winning the frown on the condescending road sign.

I hope you have a great rest today.

Triggering speed monitoring signs is old forum sport, especially on the run-in to Brighton. (Then again, I'm sure just about every bike rider does it.)

Thanks Tom. Not sure I will manage a recovery ride although I perhaps ought. Can't quite get out of bed and the prospect of another day in Lycra does not appeal.

Well done! Amazing effort and great blogging too :)

Wonderful to renew our acquaintance in such laudable circumstances. It takes something special to stick to such a harrowing task. Respect to you my friend. Mel.

So much respect. Well done.

Well done Clive !!, sorry I wasn't about yesterday to see you at LMNH.
Chauffeur duties sent me to Brum.. 12hrs of my life I'll not get back..

See you soon though for a spin out in the Lanes.

Thank you everyone on here who through your encouragement and support - sometimes very tangible - got me through this and allowed me to achieve something I probably should never even have thought of doing.

The difficulty I now face is to withstand the gnawing hunger pangs and to refuse to replace the calories burned. I then need to diet until such time as I reach the weight that I should have been at when I started the ride.

Why refuse to replace? I thought that if you don't eat enough, you just recover more slowly? (Experts please.) Plus a regular ride every week so these aren't a flash in the pan?
