Our Scottish ‘le grand boucle’ - the North Coast 500, finished with a celebratory flourish of clinking coffee mugs in Morrison’s cafe, Inverness! Well, all good things must come to an end. (It seemed longer than eleven days since we had departed from the SYA hostel just down the road).
The last day’s ride was from Evanton, on the Cromarty Firth via Dingwall, and Muir of Ord, and of course a re-visit to our favourite cake shop, the Bad Girl Bakery. We were in Inverness before midday, soon to go our separate ways south.
In all, it was a very successful and enjoyable trip. We worked well as team. The weather was challenging, (only one dry day!), but maybe it provided a greater sense of achievement. Also no mechanicals/punctures over 450 miles.
We each had personal highs and lows, impossible to summarise. Suffice to say, we all want to cycle in Scotland again. Next time we’ll take the weather with us. Suckers for punishment!

Another adventure. Hope you didn't need your sleeping bag. Sorry!
