End of the road --13:19

It's all over, except for the massive doses of anti-inflammatories.

We took the back way into Niagara, which made for a very quiet finish, at least until we got to the last km.

The finish line and approach was lined with cheering & waving people. They set it up so that the last 50m or so was down a tunnel of spectators. It was quite overwhelming.

Here's a shot of the back end of the finish line. As it turns out, the man on the bike is Paul Alofs -- the President and CEO of the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation. He was one of many of the PMH staff who participated in the Ride and, I will humbly mention, finished over an hour after I did (:->):



The weather now is beautiful, a perfect end to a fairly tough weekend.

Thanks to all who offered their support to my endeavour. I felt your presence through every kilometre.
