Day 6 ....Biggar to Pitlochry

Another 100 mile slog!

Biggar to Pitlochry was split into 3 challenging parts. We set off after a hearty breakfast and headed for Edinburgh at 8.45. We took the road by storm and hit the Edinburgh bypass by 11 !! After a nice lunch overlooking the Forth, we headed over the bridge to cycle to Perth. On from Perth and we hit Pitlochry at 6 for a nice fish, chip and deep fried black pudding tea! A massively successful day and probably the best day yet. It wasn't the easiest, but certainly made us all work hard and we met that challenge well.

The scary things are that we are now suffering memory loss! Nobody can remember where we have stayed or where we have cycled without serious thought. It is the strangest feeling. We are in Scotland now and actually can't honestly remember how we got here!

On top of us suffering from short term memory loss, the sores are really hitting. The majority below the waist and not really where you want sores. It is painful actually climbing onto the bikes. The positive is that the legs don't hurt any more...simply because other parts hurt so much.

Onwards and upwards.
