It was a great experience last night to have the pleasure & the priviledge of meeting up with our Vodafone friends / cycle heroes in beautiful Birnam, Perthshire (yes, that Birnam, as in Macbeth's nemesis ...... !). I had jumped on the train from Edinburgh, & they were cycling all the way from Lanark, but they still managed to beat me to it !
Their host was Adrian Davis, a veteran cyclist himself (& 'eco-tourism' entrepreneur) who filled us up with home cooking & descriptions of the scenic treats on the road ahead.
I really enjoyed meeting all of the team in 'the flesh' at last - & looking so fit & healthy too - though I'm sure there must be some pretty sore & bruised bits by this point in the journey !
I'm now looking forward to dusting off my own bike & joining in for the last few miles to John O' Groats on Friday. That will be another real priviledge for me, although perhaps not quite such a 'pleasure' this time, judging from the ominous talk of the one 'seriously big' hill that lies in wait on the final leg !
Keep on pedalling ....
