The day after. It is finally sinking in what I have actually achieved. Yesterdays event was a really special moment that I lost in the exhaustion of the day. The big guy, Chris Hoy set me a challenge that has driven me onwards since March this year and I did it. It wasnt easy by any standards and it was a challenge that I recommend all of my cycling pals try out. I have never been this broken in all the training rides I have done and feel terrible at the moment. I rode with Richard Bye, creator of Fat Lad At The Back and my kit sponsor, along with Dave and David. I am really chuffed that Jon Gillies of the Coatbridge Clarion rode with me too as we did much of our training together. I met Graeme Obree and we had a truly inspiring chat as we discussed the decision that you have to take to make the changes in your own personal story to evolve into who you truly want to be. I hope to spend some more time with Graeme in the future. So what now for Phil Jones? I was considering LEJOG later this year. In reality that might not happen as I cant see past how I am feeling right now. Lets see how I am in a few days when I am fully recovered. Fred Whitton challenge maybe as Philip Godley recommends! LEJOG with Iain Alexander? maybe both, HOY100 with the emphasis on breaking the time and speed of yesterdays result? I dont know, but I do know that a new chapter is about to open in the strange and ever evolving life that I live with the incredible support of my amazing wife Fran Jones. Thanks every single one of you for your support and friendship over the past two years, I appreciate each and every one of you.
