That was the wind puffing my jacket out, by the way.

The last push - Muff to Malin Head - 29 miles

One of the best decisions we made (partly, of course due to my pedal problems) was to leave the last few miles until Saturday morning. We woke up to a beautiful (but windy) day, drove down to Muff, took obligatory childish photos near the sign, and headed of on the last 29 miles.
This is without doubt one of the most beautiful routes to cycle in the British Isles, with rugged rocks and bright blue sea all around. The last 100 yards is probably the steepest bit of road on the whole trip, but as we rounded the final corner, "Diesel" Dave and "Tour Mum" Nic were there with bottles of Guinness and papparazi style photo taking.
So we've done it! Dave and Nic have been brilliant, acting above and beyond the call of duty on several occasions. Garfy's kept his spirits up despite only sleeping for about 9 hours in the entire week, and I've managed to do something I'd never considered possible this time last year.
Thanks to everyone. It's been emotional.
