Wow wat a blast, persevere che is necessary to establish perfection. The rude material receives its fine polish but from repeated efforts alone. Nothing short of indefatigable exertion can induce the habit of virtue, enlighten the spirt and purify the soul. Loved the journey cheers Scott and Jo Grenville

Hey Scott and Jo.just had a celebratory beer and a nice hot shower, thank you so much for putting on an amazing ride. I have gone so far out of my comfort zone that GPS couldn't find the way back. I've seen stuff that most people will never get to enjoy and have been challenged like you wouldn't believe. The fact that you do this as volunteers is amazing and I am really grateful ( although there were times when I cursed you ha ha ) I've never been challenged so much, but now that I'm finished I also feel damn good. Thank you!
