Tim
said: "I've made it back after a superb trip and I can still
feel my legs so everything went well. I've seen so much and
met so many people along the way over the past six weeks,
and everyone has been so supportive.
"The only really tough moment was when I was
in Wales and it was raining all morning. I had to ride uphill
and was soaked, but that was it really. The weather held up
nicely for the rest of the time, and the crowds that came
out to support and cheer me on were just sensational.
