I remember thinking they seemed a bit unprepared at that they'd never make it. Fair play to them though. Well done.

Fair play to the lads. I remember their original post and it was fascinating to track their progress from their periodic updates. €36K is a pretty impressive amount of money to raise for charity too.

P.S. Blorg, we're not going to Beijing on the next Boards training spin. I've got to be back for lunch.
