Day 13 - Tain to John O'Groats

Mileage - 85.00
Climbing - 3,767 ft
Total mileage to date - 1,015.10
Total climbing to date -  56,791.07 ft
All values approximate as I may get lost.

You would think that the last day would be the most remote and empty, but because of that, there really aren't that many roads that can be used to get to John O'Groats.

 

I did look at a ocuple that offered empty country cycling, but as they added distance and I did feel that probably by now I would just want to get there, I resisted.  I can always change at the time if I feel superhuman.  As a consequence, it is mostly A9 and A99 all the way.

 

Couple of sharp looking climbs on todays ride along the coast.  Otherwise not too bad.  Hopefully when we get here thgere will be a gentle South Westerly wind and no sea fret!

 

The pictures are around Tain, on the road up the coast, and of islands off of Scotland, then a picture, probably one of many that were possible of something from John O'Groats with a sign post on it.

 

I will get a real one July 2nd and try not to throw the bike into the sea.
