Day 1 John O’Groats to Reay
Actual distance 49.74Km or 30.91 miles
Total Ascent 402m
We’ve started!
We got to John O’Groats around 10:20 and managed to leave, having taken the obligatory photos/ video with the sign by 11.
The weather was kind and we managed to make good progress posting almost 50km- not bad for a first day! There we certainly some teething problems (lunch break with no lunch, a bag of apples left on the roof of the car for 15km and one puncture) but overall a really encouraging day, as long as the next 58 are similar………
The whole team did a great ride and there are certainly some aches and pains but a lovely curry whipped up by Niall has done wonders!
We are very grateful to the 1st Wick scouts for hosting us last night and the 2nd Thurso scouts for hosting us today- amazing stuff!
