Looks like today is the last day of riding for Jenny! About 160km to go.

Seems like she pretty much pulled an all nighter last night too!

My work maybe fun and I enjoy it and the mountains are in most wonderful conditions it's tough to leave etc. but right now I'd rather be in Berlin.

So here I am, quietly applauding to the great Jenny Graham. She's on her last 20 km or so, just now entering Berlin. F@cking amazing.
Anybody else feeling very excited?

So good to see this happen.

I'll be shouting and rooting very soon... sooooo exciting :-bd

Absolutely. So pleased for her and looking forward to hearing all about it in Boat of Garten in December when she comes along to tell her story.

She's just been on the radio. She is sound very chirpy for someone who just cycled 500 km over the past 32 hours or so!

I wonder if she's smiling? :wink: :grin:

Absolutely well done to her. I got a text to say she'd completed as I was driving home and have been grinning ever since. Even accounting for her having to do 200/250km per day she put in some seriously big days at times especially when she had to get to the airport to catch a flight.

Truly outstanding. I can only imagine what she must be feeling about now.

What an inspiration she is, an amazing achievement :-bd

It seems like a lifetime ago to me that she was giving her little pre-start talk in Tyndrum before the HT550, I find it hard to comprehend that she's been riding most of the time since then. Chapeau :smile:

Jenny is on Women's hour at 10am today talking about it. And to think a couple of years ago she struggled to cross a little stream in Scotland.
