The teams were welcomed back by volunteers from Radio Lollipop at the Hilton Grosvenor with both teams completing their cycles in 12½ hours.

Neil Mcshee from Hilton team 1 said:
‘The best point of the day was coming out of the wooded area after Crossgates and seeing the Forth Road Bridge, my thoughts were; there is light at the end of the tunnel. I can’t say that I will ever try that again!’
