And on the seventh day ...aren't you supposed to rest ?? ...no chance !
Rumour had it a cycling legend was coming to town ... so it would be rude not to go along and see what all the fuss was about...So away we went to Dornoch
When we got there, there was the odd cyclist about but as 5pm approached the place went mental, hundreds of cyclist lined the main street of Dornoch, a sea of fancy bikes and riding jerseys and tv cameras....
Just after 5pm Mr Armstrong put in an appearance, there was a big round of applause, he quickly signed a couple of books and bikes then he made his way through the crowd and led all the cyclists out for a ride ...Me and Speedy hung back till the mayhem died down, we didn't think it was appropriate to show him up ;-)
The route itself was pretty good, however once we got up into the hills, surprise surprise, the heavens opened and we got drenched. Never mind i find this just makes me pedal a bit faster ... 1hr 35 mins job done ...
If you look closely enough you can see Speedy and i at the back as the ride properly starts. Its about half way through the clip .... you might even catch a glimpse of the pink princess ;-)
