The shortest day today. Hurrah! All the usual ingredients: sun, rain, puncture, beautiful scenery, conversations about what we are going to eat next and the state of our nether regions. We were all very taken with Perth - Christine so much so that she decided to take herself on a small solo tour of the town. Sue Jones came up trumps with a bacon butty fry up at the first checkpoint. All is forgiven. She has earned her stripes as an official LEJOG supporter.Christine's friend Martin turned up to give us the low down on the next section of our route using his local knowledge. Little to report this afternoon on our ride other than the fact that we are very grateful for the cycle track that runs parallel to the very busy A9. Most of the team were content to arrive at the end of today's route in Pitlochry and ready to relax in the Nae Limits Log Cabin Hotel, a 14 mile drive from the town. Lorraine and Bolli, however, decided that they would like to cycle to the hotel. And why not? Well, for a start it was uphill and off route....
Tonight's numbers have been swelled by visitors Iona, Bruce, Morrigun and Kate.

Hi All
Just catching up with the blog as I have been very busy for the past 3 days and haven't had time to comment. Glad to hear that there have been no major hiccups, just the odd puncture or two - goes with the terrain!! Glad also to see that you met up with Iona, Bruce and Morrigun. Keep up the good work - I dread to think what your nether regions must be like!!! My eyes are watering thinking about it!! Am away tomorrow but will catch up again on Sunday. I'll be thinking about you all while I get slowly enebriated tomorrow hanging out around a friends pool!! Luv Denise and Geoff xx
Inspired by your endeavours George, Mauragh and I loaded our bikes onto the roof of our landrover 110 and have travelled to the isle of Arran for the weekend. Looking forward to breakfast and a cycle to Brodick Castle today. Not as far as LeJog in a day but we are novices. Keep pedalling we are delighted to hear that Lorraine and Bolly went the long way round. Here's to another fine day today. Mags x
