We have been out and bought today's papers. The Jamaica Gleaner and the Daily Observer both have articles about the bike ride:-

Finished!

Somewhat ahead of schedule, we arrived back at Bustamante Children's Hospital with 400.3 miles on the clock at 4:08pm today having started at 7:24am yesterday - that's 32 hours 44 minutes.

We think that this may be an unofficial record?

Three riders did the whole ride, Al and Gordon and Mavin Anderson of Endurance Cycling Club. It was a great shame that Vaughn was not able to finish due to injury. But a massive thank-you to all the others that joined us along the way whether it be on bikes, on foot on in vehicles. Mario on the run in from Mandeville - you're a star man!

Our support team were amazing under the watchful eye of Nick Stephenson - Patrick, Robert, Andray, Mitchie, Micheal. Constable Matthews on his bike was fantastic - what a way to get through traffic.
