Crossed the Line!

Two days and 220km later - I finished!

I'll post a lengthier tale of the journey later - I figure some folks will be checking to see if I survived so thought I should post something early before they start sending flowers to the hospital, and asking my wife out on dates.

Overall I have to say that the training definitely paid off.  I realized this on the second morning when I was able to walk - and sit!

Going in, I had no idea what an emotional event this would be for many of the people involved, cyclists and supporters alike.  Jill and the kids met me in Niagara Falls and commented on the number of people who crossed the big finish line with tears.  All along the ride route - even out in the country - you would find groups of people and individuals with signs supporting the ride and cheering us on.  

I think the fundraising stats say it all - 2,480 riders - $14-million raised.

Thanks to all my supporters and sponsors!
