Quick update on how I'm faring.
Wrists. Have taken a bit of a battering as I don't have suspension forks. They're a bit sore and click when I move them!
Right shoulder. Sharp pain when I put my arm at certain angles. Must avoid.
Back. Holding up better than I'd expected given that lower back pain has always been my achilles heal.
Legs. Here's the real problem. Quads are a little sore to touch and when tensed. They were worse last night but are still enough to cause slight concern. Considered taking a rest day today, but after a long 10 mile climb (!) it's downhill to Perth. Then Edinburgh tomorrow night and a rest day staying at Keith and Lex's.

Alf Garnet! What about the beautiful sights, smells, people! At least the wrist injury will keep you for expending energy in the evening....
Some more pictures please.

Honey, on the Bike Events rides we always have masseurs on hand at the end, so, seeing as you're having aches and pains now...make sure you get a massage when you stop off in EDI...I'll email you a contact. Well done so far..keep it up!
