Finished 571 km  22 November 2025

I did it! Thanks for your donations, for supporting and believing I could do this. I had a heart attack four months ago, took 6 weeks to start biking again at 6km a ride building up to 27km. This challenge has seen me mostly do rides of more than 50km without any adverse effects other than a sore bum... proof that there's bit of milage in the old reconfigured and replumbed ticker of mine.
