Had a good drive up yesterday. Sunshine and no wind - thought we must be dreaming.
Came via Aviemore to see how horrible the hills look and was pleasantly surprised. Mind you they never look bad in a car but any gradient on a bike is worse. The sight of the cycle path alongside the A9 brought joy to our hearts as the lorries steaming along the single carriageway look threatening.
A good meal in the Seaview Hotel, 3 pints of Tennants and a dram of Old Pulteney set us up niceley for a good nights kip. The room is excellent and we watched a lovely sunset over the Orkney Islands on a clear sunny evening. We're feeling very positive. After I destressed during the 10 hour car journey I would say I'm almost excited!
7.30 a.m. Saturday 14th July 2007 - Blummin raining! Well at least our bikes haven't been stolen.
Off to have brekkie then we're away....
