Well done, we were passing through on the way South saw Martin finish and saw @cyclingtiger , Andrea's husband . Martin hadn't seen her for quite a while.

Congrats on an inspiring achievement, enjoying watching your dot a few miles from the end. All the best from the bikepackers you met on the way to a macaroni pie breakfast in Fort Augustus

Nearly quit yesterday but the view from the tent door today made me question why I'd miss out on another day of this.
Battery low and charger broke so signing off till the finish line. #goTrep

@TrepidExplorer @dotwatcher absolute respect to all the riders completing the course. Being fast is one thing but having mental resilience for 7+ days is a skill that is awesome.

@HT_550 Bivvy high and lows so far on the 2021 event ... the veranda of Attadale Gardens ticket office and the verge of the A832 a few miles beyond Ullapool...

Great thing about being lantern rouge is the limits are off the menu at OBH.
Burger n chips. Been dreaming about that for 3 days.

Well done Liam Glenn, in the lead on the @HT_550 trail. Such a lovely person and an amazing athlete. I still laugh when he called us at the end of his solo TransPyrenees (5 days MTB) to help pay his train ticket because his hands and brain would not work to use his credit card.

Hey @liamtglen, that was one hell of an effort, riding SS no less, inspiring. Way to party hard! #ht550 @HT_550

Sleep is crucial at this point, but how much is anyone guess. There is still a long way to go and I'm willing to bet all the leaders get a little bit of shut eye tonight.

So I've had a rubbing break issue consuming more power than necessary... and I'm unfit. Camped too high last night so on the trail at 5am!
My tracker issue should be fixed giving more fun and accuracy. See me weep!

Contin shop @HT_550 what a superhuman effort by all these competitors, well done and I hope the weather holds. #bikepacking
