Title: We did it.......
Post by: MaD-RoK on June 30, 2012, 08:13 PM: It was a killer experience and VERY painful at times... The ride through London was mental and lots of fun, but out into the country it was raining, dark, miserable and at times very lonely just trying to count down the miles in the pouring rain. I lost count of the amount of riders on 'normal' bikes that we saw who commented on how awesomely mad we were for doing it on BMX as it was hard enough for them on their bikes.... #proudaspunch

It was a real honour to do such a mammoth ride with such an amazing bunch of dudes. We clocked up 85 miles in total, 68 for the ride and 17 to get to the actual start! I'm still a bit overcome by it tbh, and you can still sponsor is if you didn't already. We are currently at a little over £3400 it would be amazin to make that +4K. :daumenhoch:
