    I like this quote from Craig himself:

    As soon as we finished I felt like I was going to die - it was a welcome feeling though.

    It might seem odd to some people after he spent so long fighting for his life but that's cycling for you!

    odd folks we are us cyclists. crashed last year and broke some bones in a sportive. all i wanted to do was get back on the bike and finish the event. the race doctor wouldn't let me and i spent the next three days in hospital recovering from surgery. three weeks later, after going and watching ten days of the tour de france, i struggled but finished the tour de kilkenny. i've fallen a few times since but still always look forward to my next ride with delight.:)

    man, i love being on the bike. even if its wet, cold and windy!
