The bike xover is "Affric Quarry" bikes arrive by lorry and are checked, repaired and racked ready for the competitors.  640+ competitors have passed 10 checkpoints. Numbers are checked and soon the quarry empties as the competitors cycle to Beauly.  
 
Raynet provides radio communications and co-ordinate the safety cover. Injured or exhausted competitors are airlifted out (2002, 3). PDG provide a helicopter (thanks!) which operates from one helipad the Scottish Ambulance Service's Air Ambulance operates from another. 
 
Soon its all over for another year.
