And Finally...

Sue is feeling happy to be home, a little sad to have missed the last day, overwhelmed by the exciting finish line and seeing everyone and blown away (more than on Brighton Cliffs) by the generousity of the good folk at The Pilgrim Inn who raised a whopping £677.18! Official overall total now stands at...£2179.13 plus £242.56 Gift Aid!!!

Just discovered that the winds on the Brighon Cliffs were 25mph, gusting to 37mph!!!! At one point there was a sheer drop on the left hand side of me and a gust of wind (probably 37mph!) hit me and knocked me sideways.. At that point I got off and felt glad to have my feet on terra ferma. I walked for about a mile with my bike up and down the cliffs until i felt safe to get on again. A tough day.

Best cycling moments, include cycling along the promenades in the sun on day 2, where we stopped and people came from all directions to give money to us. Thank you to everyone who donated en route, we weren't prepared for that and had to improvise a donation bag - Louise's pocket.

Car drivers. Yes another great! The Soath Coast is full of cycle friendly drivers, not one caused me to issue an expletive! Sadly a number of pedestrians did as they walked out looking right through us as if we didn't exist or busy texting or rushing and generally not looking.

Scariest moments include negotiating deep pot holes at a moments notice that would have thrown us off, over the handle bars, the windy cliffs and cycling blind down hill praying my brakes would hold whilst the rain misted and drenched my glasses.

The team did great, with Rhod as the mechanic keeping our bikes in A1 tip top riding condition and having enough tools and spares to (almost) build another bike if the need arose. Jane, the one woman fuel and hydration squad keeping us strong all the way, blogger and photographer extraordinaire, map reader and fellow cyclist Louise who's homing pigeon instincts kept us on the right track all the way, Chris and all the staff at The Pilgrim Inn who made the finish line memorable, Richard for the loan of his workhorse to take bikes and all our gear (my little Peugeot wasn't really man enough) and Karen and Debbie for building the diary for the pub - which we'll keep forever as a momento of our great adventure - to add to the list of life's great moments. We couldn't have done it without ALL your magnificent support and sponsorship, on and offline, and raised so much for the SI Foundation xxx
