The cycling is going well so far. Despite the atrocious weather and being soaked through to the skin and rubbing ourselves raw it has been great. I am feeling very good and so far I have got Dave round the bike stages without any difficulties. Naturally, he is finding some parts of it hard going, particularly Glen Cohen which was a mountain climb a few miles long followed by numerous other hills and that was after riding a 13 per cent two mile hill the day before.
The hardest part for me has been riding the marathon because it can be very uncomfortable riding at such a slow pace, particularly when it is very cold and wet. Also, Dave and I both have sore bums (!) because unlike a solo bike you can't move around so you are locked in one position for six or seven hours at a time.
Here is a video of the maraton run from Lochness to Loch Lomond.
