Ali would most definitely have approved!

Would again like to express our sincere thanks to everyone that has been involved in the phenomenal undertaking.

As my legs are returning to normal, I am beginning to remember more and more about the ride. But what impressed me most was that morale remained high in the face of some really horrid weather and extreme terrain. This really reminded me of the way Ali faced up to the adversity of his treatment.

I also took a lot of strength from seeing us all out in our ride jerseys, to see the little guy in his Batman outfit, on his scooter, surely dragged me up more than one hill!

As for the riders, the training we all put in reaped its benefits. After the day 1 battering I was amazed to see us all outside and ready to go for day 2. I was sure that there would have been casualties from the first day - but no! Think we all be proud of the efforts that we have put in.

It was also a genuine team effort. Nobody shirked responsibility and we all did our fair share at the head of the pack - although Tim's efforts in the wind were special.... just a shame he was a little larger to shelter some of the bigger guys!!

Uncle James - Ali would have throughly approved of 'hikling' as an activity - dragging his scooter up hill for the joyous experience of whizzing down the other side. Think your solo efforts were incredible.

Special thanks to Pete Mac as well - he kept the bloggers very happy! We had to be very careful not to let you get left behind when we were temporarily halted at traffic lights.

I think we have all agreed that the support team were brilliant. Thanks again to Ian and Immy - you provided the support around which the ride worked. You were always there when we needed you most - the sight of the blue Honda - will be one we will miss when we return to the Surrey Lanes..... unless of course you happen to be around Sunday mornings!!

Massive thanks again to the SWAGs - your support of us has been brilliant. Is it the related work and activities you have done that has made this the success it has been.

This challenge has been far away the most physical thing I have undertaken. We all shared the emotions over the last couple of days as it hit home what we were doing. I spilt many tears over those days. It was emotional being reunited with Kate, Tom and Hannah, it was emotional finishing the ride. Most of all it was emotional because I completed this ride in honour of child I had the pleasure of being father to.

Ali I love you.

Thank you to you all for undertaking this with us.

Jeff and Kate
