Ruth has just called in with the latest...
We did it ! Everyone's buzzing, it's been an amazing trip. The roads in France are made for cycling and all the group enjoyed the long stretches of open road. There's been lots of support from locals, with children cheering, motorists beeping horns as they go past and we got lots of cheers of "Allez les bleus" as we cycled into Paris, which was fantastic!
The support and the teamwork of group has been amazing and although the weather has been very hot, everyone did really well to keep hydrated and we all made it.
It's been a truly international event with people from all over the world, so congratulations to Team France, Team England, Team Scotland and Team Australia. Also thanks to all the family and friends who were there to meet us at the finish line.
It's been tiring and hard work, but we've been with a great bunch of people and last our celebration meal was well deserved.
Message from Dave - An exhilarating trip with the best people, would do it again, but with a comfier saddle.
