Just recieved this call from Jenn:"Hello it's Jenn, it's 6.40am our time, or thereabouts and I'm done.... I'm finished... all the way down."
As we suspected she might do Jenn must have ridden though the night from Silver City. The biggest most congratulatory hug ever... I can't write any more words right now, anything I type just doesn't seem to match the achievement but I couldn't be happier....
Jenn's time was 22 days, 18 hours and 40 minutes and in the last 24 hours she rode 190 miles.
Jenn - I put a call though to Lorraine who was riding with the usual suspects (appropriately they were on a cake break), and I could hear the cheering down the phone. And then some muffled stuff about emotions....

Hi! It's Pauline, Jenns Mum! Shes done it!! She was watching a beautiful sunrise as she spoke and what was really great was that Mary Collier's family(Mary was a TD racer) had hung around and waited for her! So there's someone to see her safely to a motel where she says she will sleep for a week!!
Congratulations !!
Jenn, For three long weeks you make me a GDR news addict.
You are fantastic!!

Tears all round Jenn, you truly are amazing. I'm so relieved you've reached the end and can give yourself one hell of a pat on the back and eat cake for a month or more without any guilt.
Lots of love from a very emotional

Congrats to Jenn - well done.
Te records can wait until next year
Fantastic result, well done. We'll be raising some beer for you tonight.
Awesome. I screeched when Minx texted through the great news. The people in The Clifton Sausage think me most perculiar. I am so so so happy. And so proud. And relieved. And awed. And did I mention proud?
Enjoy that sleep. Let every aching muscle revel in your achievement.

Yes Jenn, we were out on our road bikes today and as Debbie caught us tucking into lunchtime Tea at Balcolme Cafe the news was given.....FANTASTIC. Well done indeed and all the cake we ate was in your honor, honest (Oh and Grant's full english too)
Lorriane is itching to meet up with you even more now. Wishing you all the best of good rests and fun times in Nappa. South Downs (double?) will seem like a trip day trip for you now :-)

Well done Jenn, I am in awe!
Jenn, congratulations....hmmm all the superlatives seem inadequate to describe what you've achieved.
There's currently an advert for a programme on BBC4. And I'll paraphrase the guys words:
People who break out of their ordinary, run of the mill, day to day lives to go on an adventure, truly are heros.
What you've done is heroic. I can't praise you enough. Very very very well done.
