\n Challenging weather conditions along the way made certain stages, including the Drumochter Pass, difficult, but she carried on pedalling.\n<\/p>\n
\n She said: \u201cIn my head, going over the Forth Road Bridge, I think you really feel you are into a different bit of it.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt is the last bit, even though you have got quite a bit to do.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Ahead of the challenge, Clare swapped \u201ca rusty seven-gear bike with a basket on the front\u201d for a new bike and accessories.\n<\/p>\n
\n And she revealed that the challenge, which saw her setting off at 7.30am each day, had not dampened her enthusiasm for cycling.\n<\/p>\n
\n She said: \u201cI will definitely keep riding my bike for good distances.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cCycling to Haddington, up to The Fort and into Edinburgh seems like nothing now!\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt is amazing what you can do.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Clare Horwood, director of fundraising at The Brain Tumour Charity, offered “a huge thank you” to Clare.\n<\/p>\n
\n She said: \u201cEvery day in the UK, 35 people hear the words \u2018you have a brain tumour\u2019 and survival rates for many types of the disease have not improved over the last 40 years.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt\u2019s through the incredible efforts of supporters like Clare that we\u2019ll\u00a0change these shocking statistics in the future and bring hope to the thousands of people who are diagnosed with a brain tumour every year.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Clare Arron cycled from Land\u2019s End to John O\u2019Groats to raise money for The Brain Tumour Charity.
