Day 10 - Onich to Inverness (85 miles)

We received some very sad news last night. A good friend of both of ours from uni, Todd Burrows, passed away on Saturday. It is such a shock that someone so young, bright, popular and athletic can suddenly be gone. I rowed with Todd and Ian played football with him at Cardiff and he was always the life of the party. Easily one of THE nicest and most genuine blokes I have ever had the pleasure to spend time with. A lot of people are going to miss him very much. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
The cycle today went quickly but you have a lot of time to think while pedalling along so most of my, and I’m sure Ian’s thoughts, were concerning Todd. We cycled along Loch Ness up to Inverness spending most of the day ahead of Martin, Val and Sadie.
Apparently they had to rush around Morrissons and hurtle down the Highlands roads in order to meet us for lunch at Fort Augustus.
Legs and arse had a good day today, think they’re getting used to it.The support team very kindly bought us a copy of FIFA07 for the XBOX so that will probably keep our minds occupied for the rest of the evening!1 ½ days to go!
