Scotland : Ayrshire & Arran Arran 7th June

Depends on what the single gear is...

There's a lot of climbing, but only a couple of places with really steep stuff.



Me!

theres 2 sections id say are real steep, the 20% down then straight back up, then the first bump after the cake stop.

Thanks guys. Single speed probably not wise then heh.

It is doable, but probably not terribly pleasant. You'll be doing a lot of slow grinding.

Magic. I'll keep in touch nearer the time and arrange meet point. Just need to get the miles up beforehand

The last visit to Arran was incident free, bar some early flying bottles.....

Pace round averages about 13mph, with an hours rest at about mile 30. Lots of breaks taken to admire the views. And let @ShooglyDougie go play on the grass on his mountain bike from time to time .

sounds like @ShooglyDougie is some sort of puppy your bringing along

I'm better trained, won't toley on the car deck of the ferry or hump legs at the cake stop .

I can't say the same at the cake stop....

I hope that also applies to when you are in my car! I can arrange to get a cage for the back of the car if you,re not going to behave, but if you are good you can sit in the front and stick your head out of the windows. I know, you,re getting excited already

Had a wee run on Saturday as a warm up and also made a start to the tan lines. All well so I'm a definite barring particularly poor weather, Acts of God, plague, etc. I think I'm bringing my carer again as well.......

Your 'carer' seemed to enjoy himself last time, let's hope for similar weather as we had for the 3 Ferries

For years I've had Scottish golfers tan lines !! Arms and neck only with the rest resembling Casper the friendly ghost. Funny looks moving from 3/4 tights to shorts now
