Sunny morning, ovecast by 10:00am, fairly strong headwind dropping back to gentle breeze by 1:30pm, then picking up again later in the afternoon.
I have a problem with my seatpost, it is now cracked so I pushed on ahead to try and sort it out.
I will have to proceed with a lower saddle position until I can get another one.
Today was one of the longest stages, 2 major climbs but not too steep, the rest of the course was fairly flat, it was the furthest several riders had ridden in one day.
All riders have completed the stage.
Counties Ross - Inverness-shire.
