Some "local" temperatures this morning..

Aboyne -6c
Cairnwell summit 14c

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

[fatbikephil]

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

[sean_iow]

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

[Dave Barter]

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

Edit: Appears to be a diversion forced by fallen trees

[Mart]

Phew - now back on the red line

[Wotsits]

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

[ScotRoutes]

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

[fatbikephil]

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

[sean_iow]

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

[Mart]

just about to roll down to the finish - Amazing effort

[fatbikephil]

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

Chapeau

[Dave Barter]

Well done Anne! The first official winter completion

[summittoppler]

Inspirational

[thenorthwind]

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

[slarge]

That's brilliant - well done Annie

[landel]

Fantastic, a brilliant achievement

[Javi]

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

[Keith74]

Great job Annie.

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

[ScotRoutes]

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

[Verena]

Incredible achievement

[whitestone]

Nice one

[Alpinum]

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

[JimmyG]

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

[Lazarus]

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

Chapeau Annie
