Mark's Epilogue

Well, it has been a bit of blur since returning from John O'Groats, getting straight back into work and catching up on some much needed socialising. I've only managed to get out for one proper ride since, before the nights started to draw in and the more hardcore cyclists hit the turbo. It's not half as much fun though, so I think I'll hibernate until spring and see what adventures next year brings.

I'd like to thank everyone who sponsored me for this challenge, your generosity has been most humbling and made every mile worthwhile. I ended up raising just shy of £4,000 for Brainwave, which was way beyond my expectations. Thank you all so much!

I'd also like to say a special thank you to our amazing support driver Wendie, who stepped in and saved us at the eleventh hour. Not only that, but her domestic goddess qualities allowed us to focus exclusively on the cycling. "Thanks Wend!"

It really was an awesome adventure, one which I'd certainly recommend to anyone. I've uploaded the photos from the week so you can relive our good times.
