@094459 thanks Ric. Don't recall the Huna. Long drive home today.12 hours on the road. Ready for a more sedate game of football again.
Finished, heading back to inverness after reaching John O'Groats. Can't wait to get back home to see Cath & Shirley. Has been a great trip.
Waiting 2 miles south of John O'Groats. Can't wait to get there. Knackered, can just about make it but then no more. Ready to go home now.
Last day of cycling. Starting from Brora. Weather bright, but what will the wind be like? Looking forward to the finish.
In Fort Augustus for the kiss. Bit quick wasn't it. Come on back on our bikes.
Listened to a little of the royal wedding on the radio while I took my turn driving. Beautiful scenary with the lochs. In Invergary.
Mechanic is here, 15 mins early.
In Barcaldine, 11 miles north of Oban. But the van has broken down. Flat battery? I've sent the others ahead. AA will be with me in 30 mins
On the Brodick-Arran ferry. Last time on here was 26 years & 1 week ago, on a 6th form geography field trip. Day 6 of 8 of the cycle trip.
First puncture today. Right at the end of the day. Reached my target 4 miles beforehand. Star cyclist in my group, Doc. Beats Phil into 5th
Bugger, its raining.14 miles to do, just north of Preston. It's cold too. And quite miserable. Where's summer gone?
Ok, the first assessment of the top riders.1- Glenn: 2- Graham: 3 - Dominic: 4- Allan 5- Phil. Still to assess Doc, Bails & Martin fully.
Morning Grace & Molly. Your Dad's a show off... Or perhaps I'm a bit jealous as he's the best cyclist. Driving to Ludlow to start today.
Cycled with Allan & Phil yesterday.Allan was pretty impressive. Phil appeared about my level or a little better. Feel he maybe holding back.
In Exeter travelodge. My room is about 30 yards away from the sliproad from where I used to hitch lifts from when at university.
End of day 1 of 8. Great day's cycling in beautiful Cornwall.47 miles down. Out of Exeter In the morning, should be flat compared to today.
Day minus 1 - Martin one of the 9 cyclists has already been to hospital after having a funny spell.Dr said no to the ride. Martin says YES.
We're on the road heading to Lands End.24 hours away from the start of the bike ride. Southwest London looking quiet.
