Day 8 what happened to the sun?

Well 2.30 on day 8 through lockerbie and heading north to Lanark. The waterproofs have come out and an extra layer of clothin for the support team and cyclists needed today how many pairs of tights Jenny?!? Still they are pushing onwards and upwards come wind and rain I think I can safely say they make all the support team feel like proud mums.
Becks has rejoined them today and have to say sooner her than me I'm glad to be in a warm car. Eddie is still suffering and has become an imortant part of the support team although how much more of the girlie talk he can handle I'm not sure! It has been a dramatic morning the support team lost the boys about Gretna green,(I'm sure it was so Keith and Andy could run off to the chapel but they are having none of it!).
Now the next bit you are gonna here a few versions of I'm sure so I'm getting in first! On one of my many catch ups to the team I'm flagged down by Mark after pulling over on the wrong side of the road he waves me on to him and then one min I'm next to him the next he is off his bike and lying on the ground next to me bike on top of him!! DON'T PANIC he gets up walks around and is ok and so is his bike all is good! Words cannot explain how I felt. A mixture of oh my god is he ok have I really hurt him, He is doing so well and I've just ruined it for him and the team and relief that he is walking!( Note to self no matter what boss says safety first and listen to my head in future!!) You just know I'm never goona live it down or be allowed to forget how I almost ran my boss over with his own car!!
Well drama over everyone safe and after plasters on cuts and a warm cup of tea they all head off into the misty wet distance again let's hope the afternoon is less eventful and that they make it in good time to Lanark for a well earned hot shower. You really do have to see it to believe it how one moment you can see the hills and the next the mist comes down and makes you think what hills!! Thankfully for the cyclists someone saw fit to make the roads run through the middle not up and over them! Well I can hear Lisa calling to see how the boys and Becks are doing so best go catch them up again come on Jen the coffee and hot chocolate are calling .......Clare x
