Yep, I'm all done now as well.
7460m total climbed so a bit over the 7235m required. That last ride nearly did me in though, the first 20 miles were just brutal. Kind of settled into it a bit after that.
And I can have tomorrow off!

It still doesn't alter that fact that I got beaten to the end by an 8-year old though...

Well done Minipips!

nice one guys, I remember last year - I cooked Paella and got pissed before pushing on for the last 3000m, this year the weather has left me with 5000 to catch up so no chance

Done. Literally. Very tired legs for the last 1400m today. I think a 350 mile week deserves some easy recovery rides!

Well done everyone, I've only managed 52% so far (one last push tomorrow) but the chemotherapy, 7 weeks of radiotherapy and two stone weight loss I went through in the spring, is all the excuse I need.
I'm just glad to be back out riding.

I ended up just shy of 20,000m in the end, might just about stay in the top 50 with that.

Luckily this co-incided with 2 weeks riding in the Alps, so i've smashed this one 🙂

Safe to say, i'm having a bit of a break on the bike now...

Finished it on sunday, legs felt shot at the end but pleased to have finished it.

Just one question, is how do you claim your badge?
