Re: Rach & Sue's Cycling Challenge
Looks like I could ride part of Day 9 with you as that is the closest to me, do you know what date that would be? Would you mind if I brought another rider? We could set up a car shuttle that way...
Also have emailed a friend in Dingwall for advice on B&B places there.

and dont worry about SPD's you'll be fine, just make sure you plan ahead when stopping and dont leave it till the last minute before you unclip. But if you fall dont worry everybody does a few times. Its part of the learning process and you cant call yourself a proper cyclist till you've fallen over because you cant get unclipped !
