Day 12

Falling at the Last Hurdle

Route : Brora - Wick - John O'Groats
Distance covered : 62.2 miles
Time in Saddle : 5 hours 24 minutes
Average speed : 11.5 mph
Calories : 2909

30 miles from the end of the trip and they crash into each other, resulting in ripped shorts for John, and gubbed gears and handlebars for Sammy. It is somehow appropriate that they started with a bomb scare and ended with a crash

As you can see from the stats above, from a high of over 16 mph, the road speed has dwindled to a Douglas Bader-ish pace, and it's just as well Joan was there to pick up what was left of them and throw them in the back of the car.

Final update from Sammy last night and what a tired man he sounds.

Anyway - well done boys; quite an effort on my part.
