Day 4 it's all about Paris!

Well what does one say to riding in to Paris with an escort of motor cycles closing the roads as you approach. The ride up the Champs Elysses with crowds cheering drew a tear to my eye and filled me with a mixture of pride and emotion. For me it has been a personal journey from being completely out of shape both in weight and fittness to someone who is now regulary mistaken for an athletic young chap (its been a while). This may be a short blog and I will close my account once I have reflected in a day or two, but for now I need to tell you about people. The last four days have been made by the people I have met along the way, I can not name them all but some of note. Lee, James, Keiran and George the Essex massive who have taken me in as one of their own. Roomy Andy, your an inspiration, your story touched me and your determination in life is legendary, even if I did have to make the coffee and be your alarm call. Others of note the whole of LLR for the organisation of the event, very impressive, the French out riders, those guys were the bees neeze. The celebs who have mingled and been a laugh along the way. One group of guys have touched my heart, all those that have a personal story where Leukaemia has touched them or their family, you all made me cycle harder and faster, thank you for sharing and inspiring me. So as I head to the bar for a well deserve pint or few please find it in your heart to give a little and support a worthy cause. "Roll on Paris" ?  BEEN ROLLED.
