This morning dawned wet and rainy, and you may not know but biking in the rain is no fun. It is depressing looking through rain soaked sunglasses and getting hit in the face by spray no matter how considerate the waggon driver is. So the mood this morning was put your head down and get on with it. By dinner time the rain had passed the roads were drying out and our tyres were not sticking to the road any more. Colin was taking regular doses of pain killers for his back but other than that we are in good fettle. With plenty of stops for rest and food we made it to Dunkeld at 2.45 pm.
Small problem with the ride tracker, I turned it off at one stop to recharge the batteries and forgot to turn it back on for 7 miles so there is a gap in the track. You can view it here
We now have a total ride distance of 221 miles
On the 25th July 2011 Colin Stonehouse and Roger Hartley will begin a sponsored bike ride from John O'Groats to Land's End to raise money for two very worthy causes, specialist medical treatment for Colin's Niece Grace, and the local Mountain Rescue Team where Roger is a volunteer member.

Sponsored Bike Ride 2011
Well I've borrowed a bike and decided to give it ago. So Colin and myself are training to try and get fit,
any tips or hints would be good.
I'll post some links to the training runs I've been
doing when I can figure out how.
