Lora & Ali's charity bike ride for Women Vs Cancer

✨The Final Update ✨

It’s hard to believe that this challenge is actually over. We have packed our suitcases for the last time and are flying back home to Scotland tomorrow night. 🇰🇭 ✈️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Going into this charity cycle we had absolutely no idea what to expect or what challenges we were going to face. However, all the highs and lows of this trip have made this challenge absolutely unforgettable & the most incredible experience.

Thank you to the Dream Challenges team, the wonderful Cambodia Tour guides and the support team for keeping us all safe, fed & hydrated. 🤩

We have met some woooonderful people from all over the world and we all worked together, encouraged one another, kept each other smiling and yesterday we ALL crossed the finish line together. 💕💪🇰🇭🏅

To all the ladies out there currently battling cancer, going through treatment & to the ladies we have sadly lost to cancer, this one is for you🎀🥰!!
An INCREDIBLE £220,000 has been raised between all the ladies who cycled from Vietnam to Cambodia and this will ALL be going to the Women Cancer Charities to help women right now fighting cancer.

One more time, THANK YOU so so much again for all the incredible support, we honestly are just blown away by it all and we are feeling so grateful. ✨💕

Here’s to another challenge…. Maybe!!!

✨WE CROSSED THE FINISH LINE ✨

More pictures and a full update to follow.

For now we are away for some gin & tonic and a celebration meal.

Thank you so so much everyone, lots of love. 💕

✨ DAY 6 ✨

Another beaaaautiful day in Cambodia and today we finally arrived at our final destination - SIEM REAP 🤩🚲🇰🇭. Today was 65km along dirt tracks, through lovely villages with plenty of locals & animals to say hello to. Mum nearly ended up taking another puppy dog home with her🤣 (Not sure what Harris and Hamish would have to say about that!! 🐶)

Tomorrow is the very last day of our cycle as we explore Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia by bike. What an amazing way to end this pretty unbelievable trip. We are also being treated to a 7:30am start as opposed to our usual 6am! ⏰

We are soooo close to £5,000 raised in donations which is just absolutely incredible. We can’t thank everyone enough, the support has been amazing. Thank you so so much. 💕💕

✨ DAY 4 & 5 ✨

Day 4, was a long day as we travelled across the border from Vietnam to Cambodia by boat and we arrived in Phnom Penh. 🇰🇭

Day 5, mum cycled an amazing 70km, was on two ferries and had a 2 hour bus journey from Phnom Penh to Stueng Saen. Unfortunately, I was not feeling well enough to cycle, but mum pushed on and finished the day for us both! 💪💕

Tomorrow, we will both (hopefully) be cycling to Siem Reap which is the last stop of our time in South East Asia. Hard to believe there’s only 2 days left of cycling before the challenge is over. 🇻🇳🚲🇰🇭

✨ DAY 3 ✨

Today was our last full day in Vietnam as we cycled 65km from Can Tho, towards the Cambodia border and tomorrow we head over the border to start our Journey in Cambodia. 🇰🇭

Vietnam has been absolutely beautiful, the people have been so welcoming & lovely. We said goodbye to our amazing tour guides today. They have done an amazing job keeping all 76 women safe as we cycled through the busy towns of Vietnam. 🇻🇳💕🤩🚲

As a wee treat on our last day with them, they took us for a boat ride to the floating markets. 🥥

We are officially half way! 3 more days of cycling to go. 🚲💪 thank you again for all the wonderful messages and support - it keeps us pedalling!!
