Well, a wee bit disjointed this week-end, John is enjoying a family Easter and no doubt tucking into lots of chocolate, Hindo is away sparking clogs in his native Chorley and the Doc has man flu so it was left up to the founding father to fly the flag for the carbonauts today.
Headed off from Avoch 8:45am and headed for Ullapool, thought I would try and crack the 100 mile mark for the 1st time, however a combination of a dodgy back, a cough, rain and wind I made it to Corrieshalloch Gorge before deciding enough is enough. How is it I had a headwind both bloody ways!!!
Found it really hard on my own, quite strange really missing the other 3. found myself shouting "hole", which must have seemed odd to anyone that saw me.
Back in Avoch 4:15pm, did not stop for any lunch although I did stop at Tarvie tea room and for a cuppa and a chat with the very nice girl there.
Another 1st for me today was a puncture, on the way back had to stop opposite the Ord distillery where to my surprise a very nice and attractive young lady come out from one of the houses to ask if I was okay, must have been the tights that attracted her.
Anyway, puncture fixed and home for an estimated 88miles, also thought it would be nice if we crack the 100 miles together.
