Malcolm & Colin’s BIG bike ride

Days 7 09/11/19 WE DID IT…All 10 of us have completed the challenge safely. Poor Chris the most experienced rider was the only one to fall off, and he wasn’t badly hurt. Mally, in his words “smashed it” and was the entertainment of the whole of Myanmar…We all laughed, cried and sweated to the end, oh and panted up hills! I will be posting pictures on Facebook of the last 24 hours. Thank you for taking the time to watch the relive videos. See everyone soon. It’s now going to take us 2 days and 3 flights to get home....Malcolm & Colin’s BIG bike ride
