Six weeks of pedalling, many months of preparations, and many more to recover..! Described as ‘The London to Jerusalem Peace Cycle’ by the organisers; it turned out to be a journey of discovery.. and sore bums! They danced with joy.. and cried with pain. They fell in silence in awe to the people of Foggia. They splashed their arrival to Lake Geneva, and dipped in Italian Mediterranean blue waters. Washed with rain, stoned by hailstone, swayed by wind and scorned by the heat of the sun.. they crossed Europe end-to-end. Welcomed by the excitement and engagement of their recipients along the way, and the disbelief of their final hosts, the Palestinians, they arrived to understand. One week of experiencing the beauty of the land, the generosity of her people and the ugliness of oppression.. The taste of Ma’loubeh and the smell of Jasmine, and the suffocation of a wall, watch towers, dirt ditches and checkpoints. They thought they knew.. now they may..! The journey only begins.
