Much cloudier and inclement today. Breakfast served up by the lovely scottish Frances. Paul and Lucy set off bang on 8 again and make good progress arriving in Fort William at 10am. Long break and wait for us to appear.... It's 12.30 now and they've reached Glencoe. Views are really stunning on the west coast though it's easier to appreciate them from the comfort of a warm car than the hard leather of a bike! Me and the boys stop off to search for seals in Inverscaddie Bay near the Corran Narrows. No luck but the sun comes out for half an hour and we mess about on the beach.
Glencoe to Tyndrum is 30 miles. A huge climb through the middle of Rannoch Moor. Outside is black, persistent rain. Hope they are going to be all right.
The support team have to head home at 4pm so here's the last post in real time til Friday when we return . All our love and hope goes to the dynamic duo, from the Infamous three! Ellis, Ewan and Pat! signing off 1.40 pm
Stunning views over the Glencoe pass.Buzzards circling overhead waiting to pick off weary cyclists. Paul says that's the hardest day yet.On the down hill Lucy gets upto 45kph. It takes them until 4.30 to get to Tyndrum then stay at Crianlarich. We wave goodbye to them and head off home to Manchester. Good luck for tomorrow!
