Well, I'm back! Bike ride completed. Lots of money raised for Action Cancer, and I'm not walking like a cowboy who's spent one week too many in the olde saddle! Overall it was just great. In all honesty there were two periods during which the whole bally lot of us would have gladly chucked our bikes down the nearest ravine and sodded off for a lovely warm bath and a cup of tea! But we didn't. As we told Henk, our local rep. (who also rode the whole way with us), thranness is a virtue which didn't allow us to give up, whatever the undulation (!!) or whatever the weather threw at us.
Thank you again to all to donated so generously. And to those who avoided donating, in spite of a reminder letter....well, if you're reading this...the Action Cancer Big Bus and the charity itself doesn't run on good wishes and fresh air!
I'm in the process of updating the blog on my adventures....I'll do so a day at a time otherwise you'll be scrolling down the screen for weeks to come!

On 19th October 2007 I headed off with 8 others for a challenging five day bike ride in South Africa, covering 361km to raise funds for Action Cancer. The riding was fun, challenging, warm, bleak, cold, wet, windy, and an amazing experience with a fantastic bunch of people. Thank you one and all who contributed so generously to Action Cancer. Fundraising is now closed....until the next time!!
