but keeping a high average speed to the top. The downhill was grwat. I got my fastest ever speed on a bike.. 48.7 mph. Back up the other side of the "fjord" like valley, and sunbathed at the top. It was flat / downhill for most of the rest of the distance, though a few uphills did wear us down. The sun was shining again, brilliant weather, and so we pushed on to John O' Groats after Wick, having been passed by a group also doing le-jog (Land's End - John O' Groats), though they were going direct, no mountains. We beat the group to John O' Groats though, having passed through a shower of rain on the way.. the last 17 miles were the longest 17 miles of the whole trek. Celebrated with Whiskey and Wine in Wick that night, drove back home on the Sunday.
