Some last minute doubts (about the distance and especially the weather with rain, snow, wind and low temperatures, not to mention flooded tracks!!) but never during the challenging ride, which made put things into perspective and convince myself that nothing is impossible.
I recently saw a documentary about Philippe Croizon, the swimmer who swam across oceans to link the 5 continents despite having lost both arms and legs and through his example we can see through will and dedication everything is possible - what an example to follow.
So back to our much smaller endeavour, with a high concentration of emotion over a very short period with a great team.
And not forgetting Laëtitia, our coach and mother - and supporting comments like 'Be careful' and 'It's not a problem, you are only 3 hours behind schedule, you will get there!' or 'Hey boys, you cannot be serious, you must eat before setting off!!'
A uniting spirit, that is essential in this type of challenge.
As for the charity that brought us all together, our effort is insignicant compared to the difficulties facing many people worldwide, in their fight against illness on a daily basis and would love to go biking for 2 days, whatever the conditions.
and this is the truth of Mapa gloves...
They are useful to clean your bike but not really efficient to keep hands warm
