Finished!!!

It took me around 6 hours but I eventually got there.

I had such an early early morning to get to the start line and was up at about 5:45 (ridiculous time on a Sunday).

The ride was very hard but some colleagues stayed at my pace and that kept me going even if at every hill a series of expletives escaped me.....

A couple of guys on my project did the first 16 miles in a mankini on the basis that the project team helped them raise of £1000 each for the charity which the managed to do - brilliant job!

This feels like such an achievement for me and I am very happy to have finished although utterly exhausted - roll on the weekend!
