Daleo’s daily blog- Day 2

Day 2 Matt Hubbard

Day 7
Day 7 – Johnstonebrige to Perth – 117 Miles – worst day of the trip so far , weather conditions this morning meant we were soaked through within the first 5 mins of riding. This combined with freezing cold temperatures lead to us both crowding into a small post office asking to borrow a heater …
