    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.

    Got another 50km in today ahead of the nor'wester and forecast 29 degrees! Only 53km to go from the virtual town of Kalyani into Kolkata. Thanks for the donations including the new one over the past couple of days. Hope to complete on Saturday or Sunday at the latest.
