It hardly seems possible but, after an exhausting, enjoyable, emotional trek, crossing hundreds of kilometres of southern India, we are finally on our way home.
Breakfast was early; we had to drive to Varkala to board the flight to Muscat which departed at 08:45 local time. By the time you read this, we’ll be well on our way home, looking forward to greeting you and doing our best cowboy impression. You’d think the airlines would provided extra-padded seats for cyclists!
In spite of the physical pain and the emotional roller-coaster we’ve experienced, we’ve had a lot of fun on this tour. But it was never about us. The reason for coming all this way was to inspire people to give generously towards two very important charities.
Bereaved Parent Support is helping people in the UK that have suffered the loss of a child. Suffering that I can’t even begin to imagine – unfortunately a number of the RideIndia2016 team can imagine it; they’ve been there.
El Shaddai is giving a childhood and a future to many hundreds of Indian children that have had both stolen from them.
If you’d like to contribute to the work of these two charities there’s still time – just go to uk.virginmoneygiving.com/CandyG and please remember to gift aid it too if you’re a UK taxpayer.
Thank you.
Thank you for your interest in our challenge.
Thank you for your support and your generosity to these causes.
And that’s all for now.
God bless.
Candy.
