"Had the most awesome day cycling with the Freewheelers. Cycled the whole length of Uist, stopped off for a spot of lunch and even a paddle in the Atlantic. We picked up a morphine junkie called Anna who understandably was in fine spirits and we all arrived safely at Hamersay and a super meal in our lovely hotel. So many stories to be told but too many drinks had at this time to tell them"
John M was next to report:
"Thursday started well , cool but bright and we set off with the wind on our backs heading for Benbecula. It was flat as Strava will tell you .
A few of us golfers took a detour to look at Askernish
golf club and we cycled up to the beach - wonderful.
We took another loop of the main road before Benbecula
and eventually made a lunch stop at the Stepping Stones restaurant near the
airport and hospital. The lack of available coffee stops meant 50k before lunch
- at this point Mike was seen trying to recruit Freewheelers to the Dark Side -
no joy .
Anna was released from Benbecula hospital and rejoined
the tour - by car .
More wind on the back and a few very nice causeways into
North Uist and on to our next base at Lochmaddy .
It was a long ride at 80k but only 143 m with
considerable wind assist - still a record ride distance for some folk .
