Arrived in Wick at 3pm after a loooong train journey. Quickly checked the bike and headed off. The cycle to JOG was nice easy going and the weather was far better than expected. So much for the Met office's prediction.
Arriving at JOG I spoke with a Lejoger that just finished in 10 days. He was a seasoned Lejoger and i asked where the start line was. It was around the corner next to the abandoned hotel. A bit of an eyesore. Didn't hang around too long. As soon as i had set off on the Jogle proper, the rain started, but not as bad as the Met Office were predicting. Another easy ride to Thurso.
I have to say that apart from one idiot (no, not a boy racer) all the drivers in Caithness so far have been very courteous.
Off to get some pasta to load up for the ride to Golspie tomorrow.

Enjoy your pasta!
Thought of you while biking Tuscany last week where hills are bigger than expected, pasta better but the ride a hell of a lot shorter than yours. Hang in!
