07:00 We're up showered, dressed, bags sorted and ready for breakfast, in an hour we set out for the last ride which all being well should see us arriving at John O'Groats late afternoon. The B&B has been great. Despite being in a very remote part of the Scottish Highlands the owners, Mandy and her husband, are Welsh and English respectively, originally from Wallingford in Oxfordshire they told us they sold up, bought a motorhome and travelled the country before ending up here 11 years ago. There guests are almost exclusively cyclists doing LeJog or JogLe, and they've got it well sorted, bikes put away for us, drying room for our kit, superb food and generally very well looked after.
Although we've still got 75 miles of riding ahead of us we are 7 miles further up the road from the rest of the group giving us a head start. They will undoubtbly start to catch us by the brew stop and lunch, but a plan is in place for the whole group to finnish the ride together.
Will try and post again from John O'Groats.
