Yes, I did it! All the training paid off and I had a great time. The sun shone down on us and the scenery was fantastic. There were some tough bits but the hard work I did in the cold and rain around Cheshire made it enjoyable instead of painful!
Most importantly THANKS. Thanks to everyone who sponsored me. I probably won't be able to say thanks to everyone personally but I will try and say thanks to as many as I can.
Shame the rugby wasn't as good as the cycling.
Thanks also to Austin Healey and John Inverdale for welcoming us in Paris when we were all knackered!
There are pics available here's a taster

Eggchaser's dash HQ to Les Bleus
So what's this blog all about? Basically I am taking part in the Scope Rugby World Cup ride from London to Paris. This starts at Twickenham, the home of English Rugby and finishes in Paris in time to see England play South Africa in the RWC 2007. The details are here

For me this has special significance as I also have a minor disability after an accident which means I can't flex my left knee properly. I ride a bike with a modification to the crank. This means I can't generate quite the same power with my left leg as my right. If you want to see what the mod looks like then go to www.highpath.co.uk and look for a swing crank.
You can also sponsor me here which would be really appreciated.

Please keep coming back as I develop the blog and see what is going on. You never know there may be a fun event to attend!
Cheers
Martin
