Day 14: Tomatin to Brora Approx. 70 miles

Part one: for those of you who won't log on now until Monday here is your last update. With seventy miles to do today and sixty tomorrow, we hoped for good conditions today. Slightly overcast and not too windy, so far so good. The cumulative effect on our muscles and joints is really starting to tell. The day after day pounding without time to recover was starting to mean daily pain. The only relief was the hope that we had seen the last of the major climbs. Finding a cycle way for the first distance most of the way to Inverness meant some more pleasurable riding, it was the north near the black isle and Invergordon an industrial port which featured several oil rigs, on the comarty firth which ran inland and eventually into loch ness. Now for lunch and another 40 miles this afternoon... Pain...
