I have just heard from Mel Jordan who is acting as a sweeper for the day. They reached Inverness at 7am and are refueling. TonyK, TerryK and Casey are heading off towards Fort William (I think that's what he said but I was still in bed and hadn't had coffee)

Z Weiser is having bike problems with his borrowed bike so may need to drop out, he is losing oil so doesn't know how far he can ride on the bike.


More updates to follow and I think they may be texting photos as well later so I will post those as well.

Here's some pics of the riders crossing the Kessock Bridge this moening.



















Weather was good, nice and sunny. Got to the bridge around 6 15 am to find most of the front runners had past
Best of luck to all the riders, long way to go yet

Planning to stop at Carlisle for breakie




Stormforce has stopped for breakfast at Perth also and is leaving there shortly, he is a little concerned about what Stan is up to as he was rode past him, then SF saw him riding back the other way, and then stan passed him again.

Leaving Wick






Got a few more, especially of the riders leaving Wick, but they're all just blurrs as they speed out of the 30mph zone

Great going guys.

I had a little chat withe the Feds near Dornoch - appears some cager got a scraped wing mirror by a biker at temporary traffic lights near Helmsdale. Feds wanted to know who the group were and what they were doing - "They're all nutters officers. Can I go now and join them?"

Had a call from my beloved, he is 70 miles away from Carlisle and cold so has stopped for some breakfast.

Also have heard from Mel Jordan, all bikes have past Perth now, Z-weisers bike has had some emergency repairs and seems to be coping well which is good news.
