Haven't had much Internet access recently. Yesterday was one of the toughest biking days I've ever experienced. 60 miles over the Cairngorm mountains with a vicious head wind that really sapped my energy. There were two periods when I didn't believe I was going to be able to finish the day. Beautiful mountain scenery that I wasn't always in a fit state to enjoy. I went up to two ski centres and a long way down in between. I stayed at the Spittal of Glenshee Hotel last night. Glenshee means Glen of peace. A fitting name considering I'm raising money for Peace Direct.
Today was a 45 mile ride to Dunning. Felt very easy by comparison!! It was very rainy and cold to start with but eventually the sun came out. I was here by two so spent some of the afternoon looking round the ancient church yard. I'm staying at a pub and the landlord has told me that because it's Friday night they don't close till one clock. I'm very tired now so I don't think I'll have any problem sleeping. Tomorrow I ride to Edinburgh. I hope the sat nav does it's job properly.
