Day 13

Friday 13 July

Newtonmore to Inverness

50 miles
 

After a fire at breakfast from the dualit (!!) toaster and the hilarity which always goes hand in hand with a communal hostel breakfast, what a treat. A gentle 50 mile spin with morning coffee in aviemore and lunch at a village store.


Dry. Bright.


Stomach better. Knee hurt when clipping in to my pedal but ok on the bike. Shoulders painful in the morning but better in the afternoon.


Todays ride was relaxed and sociable. A few fun sprints off the front of the otherwise tight peloton of 10.


No punctures.


2 visits to the bike shop for gear and pedal problems in the group on arrival into inverness. Thanks to Highland Bicycle co for their helpfulness and prompt attention.  For the rest of the group the earliest afternoon finish at 3pm, a shower, protein shake and bed until dinner at 7.


After dinner, briefing and bed for 8.30pm.


Blissful day. Such delight. Big glow.
