SHANE Crawford has ridden into Perth to finish his heroic 3600km charity bike ride to raise money for breast cancer.
After an exhausting trip, the former AFL footballer finally reached his journey's end as the Footy Show audience cheered him on at Crown Casino Perth.
"You're a legend Crawf!" someone yelled from the crowd who gathered to greet the weary Crawford.
At about 1.20pm today, Shane Crawford did what many thought was impossible. He had ridden from Melbourne to Perth in just 22 days.
He left the town of Northam about 9am today and pulled into Perth's Hay Street mall about 1.20pm to a crowd of
about 100 people cheering his name, many of them wearing pink and waving Hawthorn scarfs.

"How's your bum Crawf?" one woman shouted, as he arrived in the Hay Street Mall complete with a police escort.
"You're a legend Crawf," another woman exclaimed.
Among those in the crowd were sisters Jonelle and Kristy Carlsson and their children.
They painted a teddy bear complete with a pink bike and hand-delivered it to Crawford as he rode into the mall.
"Just watching him visit all these small country towns on the way here has been fantastic, it's amazing what he has done," Kristy said.
Crawford, 38, cycled from Melbourne to Perth to raise money and awareness for Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) in a campaign dubbed "Tour de Crawf."
He has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the charity.
Crawford will ride onto the set of the AFL Footy Show tonight as it's being broadcast from the Crown Perth Casino.
The four-time All Australian ran 780km from Adelaide to Melbourne in 2010 to raise awareness and money for BCNA.
He raised $600,000 in the process during the run.
Donations to "Tour de Crawf" can still be made through NAB branches, or via the BCNA website at http://www.bcna.org.au/events/key-fundraising-events/tour-de-crawf
Crawford rode ride into Perth via Great Eastern Highway and Guildford Road. He will travel down Lord Street, East Perth, cross over the Horseshoe Bridge, ride through the Hay Street Mall and then along St Georges Terrace.
