Colin Jones - Cycling

COMPLETED! ✅

Well that's Vietnam and Cambodia done, what an incredible experience.

The team I was with could not of been better, we bonded so quickly and encouraged us all right to the end.

The route through both countries took us along tar and mud roads, through towns and villages where all the locals would wave and say hello as we passed by 👋🏼 🚴🏼‍♂️

We passed rice fields, temples, war trenches and military memobilla! The heat was extremely hot each day, with a good down pour on one day making the route through the country very interesting.

We arrived back in LHR this morning so looking forward to deciding where the next adventure will be!

Thank you everyone for your support and donations - with your help we raised £2500 for British Heart Foundation 😄

THANK YOU!

Day 5 and our last cycling was mainly sightseeing but we completed 50k! With Gala dinner last night so not much time, now getting ready to leave hotel in a few hours for the airport🚲✈️👍

Day 4 - easily the toughest day so far! We went off road, the heat and humidity was on another level 😚🍻

Completed 80km today and what kept us going was the thought of a hotel pool at the end!

Day 3 - Completed ✅

Best day so far and easily the hottest! 38 degrees, uncomfortable on occasions, but plenty of stops. Today was through Cambodia countryside, dirt tracks and local villages, kids greeting us while we passed temples and rice fields.

It rained in buckets for about 15mins but then cleared again!

58 miles today, now at the hotel at Kampong on the Mekong River... Brilliant room and view, might even have different food to rice and chicken!! 👍🏼🚴🏼‍♂️🚴

Day 2 - Completed 54 miles in 37 degrees! Regular water stops very 8miles so all good.

We 1st cycled to Temple for a visit and the onto the Cambodia border and the Vietnamese are really friendly! All the kids are so happy cheering and waving as we cycle through their towns. 😄

At the border we said goodbye to our Vietnamese guide and bike team once into Cambodia. Then 25 miles of passing cows grazing everywhere, kids running up as we pass and horns blasting from lorries, cars and scotters!

It’s time for a rest in the hotel now ready for a well earned beer! 👍🚲😚

DAY 1 - Great 50mile ride today mostly roads!

Started at the tunnel which was an amazing experience, completely told the true story on the Vietnam war!

The locals were great fun waving and cheering - not a bad way to start the adventure 👍😄

THANK YOU! 😄
