He's done it!!!!!!

Well folks, Dougall has done it!! He finished his 3,000 miles and then some! Yesterday he cycled quite a way to get to Davis, the finishing spot. He cycled about 3,100 miles in 29 days!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, well done to Dougall!!!!!!!!!!!Another post will follow with the details of how many miles were done per day and other details along those lines.

He's at my parents' house now in Davis and so here are some photos of him arriving at the end point: (That's my mom shaking his hand!) And also my parents just got some cute kittens, so a photo of Dougall with the kitten.

wow!!!!!!!!!!

147 miles!!!!! That crazy Dougall cycled 147 miles yesterday!!! He made it to Corcoran, which is along highway 43. When he got there, he was knackered, thus desperate for a hotel. He noticed that the centre of the town was cordoned off and there was a big hot rod show. He slowly cycled along the pavement to get around all the cars and went to the hotel, thinking there was no chance of a room because it was so busy. Luckily, the budget hotel still had a room so he was mightily relieved. The only room left was a suite, so he got a suite, but it's a budget suite, so only $70.
In other news, he only just noticed that he's got a very weird tan because of the straps of his helmet. He has funny white stripes down the side of his face - only noticable from the side, so he didn't notice before. That's going to go really well with the cycle shorts and shirt tan! ha!
