Day 81 - 21st April - All good things must come to an end


'He may be movin' slow but that don't mean he ain't goin' nowhere' - Norah Jones

The end in sight, that's Larnaca around the bay!
Amazingly, after 6,000 km I get my first puncture in the final 10km. It's the rear wheel but it's a slow one and a couple of pump ups get's me to the hotel.......I'll fix it when I get home.

Final stats -

6056 km through 11 countries

400 hours in the saddle

332,706 calories

One puncture in the last 10 km!

Fuel consumption -
20 km/SNICKERS BAR or if running on bio-fuel, 15 km/BANANA

St Lazurus Church - Larnaca


It's a lash-up, not elegant - but well padded!

Patroun -  Lebanon. 34deg C............ideal spot for post-tour rehabilitation

........was it all a dream?

    Thanks for all your support Mark. It was a bit daunting at first but in the end it just became a pleasurable routine and not physically difficult. Choose your season carefully, take it easy, and I really think anyone could do it. See you soon!
