HLaB said:Yeah it was a good day, thanks for the company and it was a lot better weather wise than the last time. I liked the bit at the start when I thought we'd just take a nice quiet road instead of the A9, then a big black Lamborghini came roaring by.

Don't eat that bun yet, we cut out part of the A9 by going via the B823, Corton Road (the road with the Lamborgini). I just had a look at bikely it shows at 79.1km (49ish miles, Station to Station) and 'show/ elevation profile' shows it was fairly flat (around the 32km mark); in fact have 2 or 3 bunsmagnatom said:Hey, I've just had a look at this http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2284806 which I think was our route. I turned on on the calorie counter and put in my weight. About 6400 calories! I think it is time to have a bun!
QuickDraw said:Sorry for the delay. I've spent most of the last fortnight nursing the flu that will not die. I managed to cycle in to work the day after our ride but since then I've still not been back on the bike.
Anyway, thanks for the day out guys. I thoroughly enjoyed it, despite the wind. It's defintiely inspired me to think seriously about entering the Etape Caledonia or something like that.
I'd just like to set the record straight though, the way Magnatom tells it it sounds there were 3 fast cyclists there including a champion triathlete and him bringing up the rear. Unfortunately it wasn't like that. I was hanging off the back for most of the ride and once Magnatom gets his new bike I'll be the one left behind. Thanks to Gavin and HLAB for their infinite patience in waiting for the back markers.
If I ever get over this flu I'll be up for the next one.
