A note from Mike Rainton:

Our goal was achieved on Friday 27 June 08. What a fantastic experience to see the coast line during the final 70 miles and the views from John O’Groats was brilliant.

My teamates were tremendous, supportive and determined to finish. Howard kept us smiling all the way. Many thanks to Bruce, Neil and Charlotte for fixing my wheel. Mike, Allan, Barbara, Bryan, Hiten and Tamara were the best support team in the world!

The whole organisation and planning was second to none. Many thanks to Hiten for all of his hard work.

Hope all is well with everyone and that recovery is well on the way!

It was a privilege to be part of the 2008 TRAT team – thank you. Is there a hat-trick in my legs?

All the very best

Mike Rainton
