Those of you who have been avid LEJOG blog followers will have probably noticed a lack of updates from the LEJOG team over the last two days. Was it that the backup crews fears have finally been realised and the riders really have vanished into thin air........ or was it just that after 11 days of cycling, the team were very tired and could not connect to the internet to post their latest update? Having seen Keiths latest post, I now know it was the latter.
So 'Day 11'. Eleven days of hard peddalling - up hill and down dale, in sunshine and in rain. An idea that started in a performance review between Becks and Mark 12 months ago, has come to fruition and will finish tomorrow when the LEJOG team cross the finish line and head towards the photo kiosk to get a picture at John O'Groats to pair with the one from Lands End - momentoes to share with children, grand children (and even great grand children) as the story about this great adventure is shared (and embellished?) for many years to come. I only wish I could be with them to share this joyous moment!
One thing that will never change is the effort that the whole team (riders, backup crew and those others who have helped along the way) have put into this journey not only to raise money for Skill but to bring an awareness of Skill to a much wider audience. This they have done with outstanding commitment and dedication and in doing this they have made a real difference to the lives of the disabled students Skill supports.
Good luck for tomorrow everyone - may your roads be flat and puncture free!!
Carol :-)
