Just digging back through my e-mails I found this from Vaughn who unfortunately had to drop out after 235 miles, it was such a shame that he was there to the end!
A big congratulations to the team that made it around the Island. Al, attacking the climbs like there was no tomorrow, Gordon for the steady pace you put in and Mavin, for keeping it all together to the end. To the riders that started with us and joined us along the way, your support (and drafting) made a huge difference, thank you for believing in us and being there when we certainly needed you. Cutters, Fresh vibes, Endurance, Portland, May Pen and more, to see the effort from the entire cycling community pushed us further.
The support crew from Red Stripe, what a job! In all my years of experience, this support team has to be one of the best I've ever experienced, they got A's all around. They did a magnificent job in taking care of us all the way around... Intersections, traffic lights, night, day, every step of the way... We never felt alone. Great job Nick and the entire support crew, I'll be calling on you guys in the future :-)
To the sponsors, the bold step to support us and help us meet the target, we appreciate it. Thanks for your donation, from sandwiches from Margaritaville and Sandals to Powerade and Wata from Wisynco and the many others that contributed cash and kind. A special thank you to my sponsors, Paramount Trading and Cycle City Fitness for helping me to get that far. My parents who came out to meet us in St. Mary and my family visiting on vacation, taking the time out to train with me and friends that supported my all the way, 100% respects!!
My only regret was not being able to finish but it was an honor for me start the journey with an amazing crew, Al, Gordon, David, Mavin, Paul and Orane. Thank you guys, I will cherish my 235 miles for a lifetime.
Cheers!!
