Engineers Against Poverty
charity cycle challenge
Day 8 - 5 March 2010
Siem Reap - Beng Mealea
Although the challenge is titled Saigon to Angkor Wat, the final day's cycling actually took us out to Beng Mealea. We woke up very early this morning to catch the sunrise at the temples of Ta Prohm.
In Ta Prohm, the trees have taken over some of the ruins which give these temples a unique appearance.

All the previous days cycling had caught up with us and with this being the final day, it turned out to be the toughest yet. The majority of today's cycling was off the tarmac and over pot hole ridden dust tracks mainly consisting up of red sand and gravel.
A rest break under some much needed shade.
Riding along the final stretch of road (finally back onto tarmac!) before the finish line.
After cycling over 500 kilometres during eight very long and hot days, we finally finished!
