Inverness a ride too far! Inverness, United Kingdom

Inverness, United Kingdom Day 4, 25th June 2014. Inverness a ride too far! Day score 6. I’d spotted a decent bike shop by the canal, so went back there to buy some new brakes for my bike. They old ones had seized up from lack of use and I’m not going to ride off road as I would like to without decent brakes. The shop didn’t open till 10am, so I thought it would be nice to ride along the canal to Lock Ness. A beautiful ride out, but way too far. I fell off as well, so back in town, with new brakes but a bloodied knee, I got on the 11A bus with my bike. Back at the airfield the parts had arrived and I bonded the arms in place and fitted the caps. The resin or glue needed 18 hours to set, so the earliest I could leave would be tomorrow noon. I also bought a big map of the world and some permanent marker pens to mark on the route I intend to take around the world. Many people had already asked what I was trying to do and I need a map to try and help explain it. After I’d completed the route, I even wondered myself if I had taken on too much? Thought for the day: I loved riding the bike again. It’s apart already and back in the plane.
