The peloton glided through the awesome countryside, the army support vans were laden with jerry cans of water as coffee shops have not yet reach this far north.
We had some distance to cover, as today would be our longest day distance wise. The beautiful surroundings, good weather and great mates made the going quite easy.
With 25 km to go the legs found new energy and the pace picked up a little. The final climb and the Surrey boys sensed that one or two of the squadies may be running out of gas so we put the hammer down a little more just for fun. We arrived at John O' Groats in phenomenally good form and cheer, a job well done.
We rode 202km today, 1400km over 8 simply amazing days, we felt privileged to have been able to do this. Britain is great!
The biggest cheer at the end went to Jo our long suffering nutritional expert, logistical support and biggest fan. Thanks Jo and thanks to Bobbo for an amazing LEJOG 2017
