So the end of a long day of cycling has brought the boys back to Inverness for the night, after a cool ride (& I don't mean trendy!) - a constant headwind & temperature of 12 degrees C has been their lot today. In fact they were able to access some local weather information which forecasts much the same for the rest of the week, with a high of a heady 13 degrees C on Saturday - don't worry boys, you'll be much further south by then & it's lovely & warm down here :)
They have between them some aching knees & other unmentionable places; suffice it to say that they've had to break out the sudocrem!!
Tomorrow sees them head for Fort William & what promises to be a scenic ride along the Lochs, so hopefully they'll leave behind the heavy traffic of the A9 which has dogged them today!

Hey John/ Mark
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you're on the way! Enjoy Loch Lomond - it's beauuutiful. Hope you get some better way - dodge the snow!

Very impressive progress, John and Mark, especially if weather conditions were a hindrance.
ReplyDelete140 miles in two days, eh? Hmmm! When Mum and I tandemed 160 miles(?) from Portsmouth to Deal we were on the road for a total of 21 hours---but you have to remember that miles were longer in the old days when life was more leisurely. ;-)
Love the photos. Did you get those lycra shorts from a bespoke tailor?
Best wishes for tomorrow.
John, the elder. ;-)
