A blueberry muffin in case you were wondering (all in the name of carb loading!!). Then it was a good long drive in the direction of Perth shortly after which we stopped for lunch, again I felt it necessary to endulge in a tasty scone as well as the chicken and bacon sandwich&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>A small detour to Cromarty took us to a friends house where we admired the view and chatted for a while over a nice cup of tea. The weather has been excellent so I&#8217;m keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow!<\/p>\n<p>Finally arrived in Wick, which is about half an hour from JOG and our stop for the night. The lady running the B&#038;B is very kind but pointed out that 100 miles a day was nothing more than a &#8216;mere training ride&#8217; for ze German pro cyclists that were staying here a few days before! It&#8217;s enough for me, that&#8217;s for sure!<\/p>\n<p>So this is it then, all the training and planning up to this point and in 12 hours it all begins! Of course, I&#8217;ll let you know how it goes by posting my first ride blog tomorrow evening.<\/p>\n<p>Oh and by the way, Tasha has her day planned as well &#8211; I believe a world famous chocolatier visit it high on the list! <\/p>\n<p>I leave you with a photo of what will, I&#8217;m sure, be a common sight for me in the evenings: a huge plate of fish and chips!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/reubenwilcock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/p_2048_1536_E91286D0-6F6C-44EA-B4FF-C870A9362AB7.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reubenwilcock.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/p_2048_1536_E91286D0-6F6C-44EA-B4FF-C870A9362AB7.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We set off from our M6 travelodge after a quick breakfast in the service station.
