In reply to PeterM:
Had a great time, it was tough, painfully tough at times, but the scenery and the friendliness of others meant I thoroughly enjoyed it.
At a rather low ebb, after riding for 100 miles, shortly after the snow gate at the heron fields on approach to Cairngorm I admit to walking the section just at the sugarbowl car park - I was gubbed - once round the corner though, back on the bike for the final uphill to the finish line.
Give's me a time to aim for next year then.....
