Day 9

Day 9 started poorly. Overnight the lever must have been switched on and my DI 2 was dead. Changed battery and everything ok again. Alex and I left Inveraray about half an hour after the others. The climb out of town wasn't too bad and soon we were speeding our way to the first stop at Connell. There to greet us was Annette's parents friend Jill. It was great to see Jill out for support.  From Connell we pushed on for lunch near Fort William. Out of Fort William we passed Jason's memorial which reminded me about how vulnerable we are on the bike. Eventually we reached our last stop at the commando me memorial at Spean Bridge. By this time the weather had turned and it was cold and damp so we fairly belted down towards the hostel at Loch Lochy. At this stage we had done 96 miles so it seemed rude not to do a few more miles to get the ton up. BPF 7 ( ibruprofen seems to be working at dulling pain)

PS, yesterday's faller, Grant started and finished today's run. It's 10 years to the day he was told he wouldn't walk again.
