Day 16 

Miles completed today 87

Total Miles 1123

Lovely day from Carrbridge to Lairg via Inverness - this morning began with a fantastic undulating ride into Inverness that we blitzed in only 2 hours. Struggled to find somewhere nice for lunch but eventually struck lucky with a hotel beside the Moray Firth.

Afternoon began with a poor few miles alongside a very busy A road but things soon improved as we climbed up higher and were rewarded with some amazing views of the Firth of Sutherland. The heather was lovely and purple and it did feel a bit isolated - I suppose what I expected this far north!

The final section gave us great value from the climbs with long and scenic downhills eating up the miles and some lovely woodland sections near the river.

Adam had salad again at lunch (still wrong!) but was back on top cake form later in the day.

Special thoughts today for Vicky our much missed hockey colleague and her mum Pat who has kindly sponsored us after hearing about our ride. Penultimate day tomorrow but still no John o’groats signs yet ... hoping that changes soon!
