A pensive Mick Hall rings in after completing his 5000 mile, 5 day charity ride with just minutes to spare.Sit back and relax now, Mick -- well done!  For those sitting on the fence to donate until seeing whether he'd get it done or not, head on over to http://adventure-spec.com/mick-hall/ to find out the details.Get some well-earned sleep, Mick!

Mick rings in from the morning of his final day.  Keep it safe, Mick!!

With 1200 miles to go, Mick is into the 5th day of his 5000mile, 5 day ride.  He's into short loops for the duration, which will let him sneak in for a rest if need be.Keep it rolling, Mick!

The miles are ratcheting up as Mick has found some swift traffic to pace the miles along.  The bike and equipment are holding up well (excluding the Zumo).

Mid way through day 4, the fatigue is firmly set in.  A bit behind schedule, Mick presses on.

Mick gets shat upon -- and not by a bird, either!
