I did it!!!!

[cycle2run]

Guys, I did it!

No cycling experience, and due to being let down on a groupset I cycled on a £150 used carrera TDF with original Kenda tyres and only 8 speed cassette, including through a forest and farm track - with not one puncture!

I cycled 420 miles from Warwickshire to Paris in 4 days then ran the Paris marathon. Toughest thing I've ever done and we took some bad routes in France which didn't help.

Just a big thank you to all the help I received on here I will continue cycling. But can't believe i made it and the halfords bike did me proud

If you haven't seen it on here my site is www.cycle2run.co.uk I ran for mind charity in memory of my father who took his life so feel free to donate. Http://www.justgiving.com/cycle2run

That's a big 'Chapeau' from me!!

Shows that the rider is more important than the bike. As is the spirit of the rider.

Well done and hope you enjoyed it.

It's always sweeter, when it's done on a BSO. Although to be fair the Carrera TDF, isn't the worst offender by a long shot. Well done

This is indeed something to be proud of, specially running a marathon afterwards. You must be a fit guy. Congratulations and let us know of your next achievement.
