Aboyne -6c
Cairnwell summit 14c

been seeing some amazing Temp inversion pictures on Twitter. must be amazing when up top

Everything is frozen solid so mud won't be the problem, much ice about though....
Has Alex scratched? been 4 hrs odd at Invermoriston

I saw on Instagram that he was going to scratch, still not 100% after having covid.

Anne seems to be on the A82? I hope that is a tracker malfunction

Edit: Appears to be a diversion forced by fallen trees

Phew - now back on the red line

Looks like she's on the home straight now, go Annie!

The Kingshouse is going to be very tempting about now...

Nearly up the bonus climb, just one push to go and she's cracked it

Should be back in time for last orders at the Tyndrum Inn* and she's earned a drink, great ride.

*Or the Scratchers Arms as it was in 2019

just about to roll down to the finish - Amazing effort

Done = 7 days 16hrs 50 mins by my reckoning which is good going given 6 - 7 hrs daylight per day

Chapeau

Well done Anne! The first official winter completion

Inspirational

Incredible. One of those achievements that genuinely changes people's perception of what's possible.

That's brilliant - well done Annie

Fantastic, a brilliant achievement

Congratulations to Annie, what a ride! Just going for it was an achievement on its own.
And also raising money for Bike for Good

Great job Annie.

Took me longer in the summer and dealing with so much darkness can’t be much fun.

Beyond my understanding and comprehension. Just on a different planet altogether.

Incredible achievement

Nice one

Bikepacking history rewritten
Absolutely stunning. Congrats to Annie.

I wasn't sure about other reports of folks having ridden it in winter but if Alan says (on IG) so. I can't imagine someone riding it in winter and not letting him know.

"enjoyed the problem solving through the difficulties" Annie wrote on IG.
True spirit

Seriously impressive stuff. All the more so for having the drive and determination to complete the route twice in one year.

Most folk would be happy with that as a summer time total but in winter

Chapeau Annie
