Well, at 8:12am this morning, The Mickroo Crew touched-down in Sydney's Kingsford Smith International Airport. There was tears, laughs and an overwhelming number of bear-hugs as Greg, Stan, Russel and Dave arrived. Tension filled the air as we awaited The Flying Sctsman's arrival-and then Mickey rounded the corner and into a frenzy of activity. Ladies and Gentlemen, Mickey The Great has landed. There were even more tears this time; 4828 kilometers across America, enduring chest infection, tiredness, pain and mental breakdowns. But the positives far out-weighed the negatives. There was light-hearted mocking that went as far as this blog, the sights were beyond anything The Man had seen before and the fact that he had successfully cycled across America and won the RAAM citizenship award made everything a blur. But most importantly was the support. Both Mickey and The Mickroo Crew couldn't have done it without your support. All of your blog posts, texts and donations mean more than a gigantic lump of gold to Mickey. And even better, all of this has totalled up to $25,375 for the CPA (Cerebal Palsey Alliance)! Thankyou so much for your donations, all of you.
And now, a light breakfast at a little cafe...
RAAM 2011!
