Re: My Son is on his way riding for Charity. Will soon be in Spain
Just want to say thank you to those taking an interest on his trip, thanks to Rosemary and Elle who offered him a stop over,
They have left us now having had two weeks unwind here and are currently on the ferry at Santander. He has raised just over 3k bits still trickling in.
He had no ill effects at all and still did some rides over the Sierra´s after arriving, Was nice on the last day as he rode from Balerma into the Alpujarra to Dalía, then Berja to the pantano and Turon across to Albondón where he realised he had finished climbing and was all downhill into La Rábita, great party as he arrived.
Again thanks to all who read this etc, house is now empty lol and not just the bike etc.

He did a good thing. Actually, he did a great thing.
May his cycling knees and legs never fail him all the days of his life.
