Also thanks to Ally for the donation.

Well, I did it and it hurt.

Then again, it wasn't meant to be easy.

Thanks again to those who donated to Laura's cause. I'm humbled by how generous folk have been for such a bonkers mission.

Strava link to the ride. As you will see it was "quite hilly"

Convert it to pedelec. Electric bicykles are a hoot, but the replacement costs of batteries make them more expensive per mile than a two-stroke motorcycle.

Well done Cap'n.

One word - velosolex

A great effort. 65 miles on a racing bike can be taxing but on a small wheeled folding machine I'd say that was literally a pain in the arse. Respect for the cap'n for a great cause.

Yup, got one of those and love it. It's a folder too but I woudn't want to be carrying it onto a train under one arm. I also doubt that mine would make it 71 miles without a recharge halfway.

I'd love one. First bike I ever rode on the road (iilegally at 15 ) on holiday in Great Yarmouth. The E-Go reminds me of a Velosolex a bit, being front wheel motored.

Cheers. I've a feeling that those hills would hurt on anything leg-powered.

I re-visited your Just Giving page to see how far the ride was.



63 miles! On that thing! Jeez Cap, that's mental! No wonder it hurt!

Well done!
