IIRC, they both got to Lexington and Concord, although they technically didn't warn the Concordians because when they reached Lexington, fresh men were sent ahead to go to Concord while Revere and Dawes rested.

A great book on the subject is Paul Revere's Ride. His ride turns out to be one of his least remarkable acheivements.
