14/8/08. Day 1. John O’Groats to Tain
86m today, Ride time 6 hrs 14 mins
Forgot to get breakie stuff so started the marathon ride on crisps and biscuits, how professional are we? Loadsa photos by the famous sign, deep breath then off. Chatted to loads of groups on the last leg of their journeys and heard how bad the weather had been down south so we were pleased to be stripping down to thinner layers as it got warmer.
Only one hill to speak of and Ed had help on the way up from some horse flies chasing him. Scenery could have been on the med at times and Indy took out his folding bike a few times to explore local towns. Tain had a Highlands Games festival on but we decided not to enter and embarrass them all. Our B+B was very clean and comfy, pub grub in the sun to celebrate.
