Day 2 Inverness to John o Groats

Sorry to see the smart BMW go back to Thrifty Car Hire but made an easy transfer to the train Thurso bound. Several other cyclists looking professional waiting for the same train, I expect to see them flying past us on the road to JoG.

Waiting for the train to Thurso

Stunning scenery passing through the Highlands with clear rivers bubbling through fields of heather. Thurso soon came up and after a quick change in the loos we emerged Lycra clad ready to jump on the bikes for the 22 mile ride to JoG. Not too challenging apart from at Dunnet Head where the wind was in our faces. Who would live here?  It's bleak and remote, must be so hard in winter.

Lycra Clad

Gail our B&B lady couldn't do enough for us, we have a huge room very clean, she made us a cuppa and then arranged for the landlord of the pub about a mile away to come and pick us up and drive us there for a meal! can't argue with that. Tomorrow is the first real day of riding with only two wheels and no other transport. Bring it on as they say....

Proof he was there !
