I guess the sleeping wild is training and testing of equipment for the tdr so you'd be hindering them (in a way) by offering a bed and a brew.
Hope they find time to put some pics up.

Passed you guys on the A75 outside of twynholm in the pissing rain, looking miserable. Stay strong and keep up the good work.

Didn't realise it was you till I got home and saw you on border news.

I just realised the McDonoald's they stopped is the one near me, I could have given them a cuppa at work.

Strava track doesn't show a Dalbeattie/Mabie trail centres being visited (+ others probably). Thought they were riding all the centres ?

aims of the ride, in order of priority, were to:

1. Raise awareness of Michael's situation and raise money
2. Ride coast to coast to coast to coast.
3. Get a load of miles in
4. Make it back for work Monday morning
5. Play at the trail centres

We did 1-4 but we didn't do all of the trail centres - our average speed (taking into account tea stops) and the ferry timetable and their policy on foot passengers on certain crossings didn't allow us to do all the trail centres. We basically had to sprint the last 90 miles to Cairnryan otherwise the whole job would have gone tits up.

Absolute top effort, hope you both get the donations you thoroughly deserve for Michael. Sprint 90 miles, on a good day most of us are lucky to do 90 metres. Again well done to you both.

Cycling 90miles along the A75 whilst attempting to avoid being squished by the ferry traffic and **** -wit drivers is more of an acheivement than riding any trail centre - well done peeps.

Donated. Awesome effort. I'm currently getting into long distance events/rides, so this is pretty inspirational.

Heads up all- The page is very slow once you submit your details. It took a few minutes and I only got an email confirmation, the page was still processing.
