Scotland : Ayrshire & Arran Arran 7th June

My free VIP night on Thursday cost me £40 for a nice new shiny Pearl Izumi Gilet

Would be rude not to

Would be rude not to

So with just over a week to go, who's still in?

Ok ... I've quit the ditherin'. I'm in!
Coming up from Debyshire with my camper for a ferry on Friday. Thought I'd make a week of it and enjoy the beautiful isle. Hoping there's no parking restrictions on the front in Brodick so I can leave it there for the day.
I managed (dare I say enjoyed?) a 46 mile day with my camping-laden tourer up Glen Lyon last week so reckon I'm up for this.
So, I'll see you folks at Brodick on Saturday morning. Will you be on the ferry arriving at 10:40am? And shall I wear a rose in my buttonhole or will my blue, black and white Cube Peleton Pro (accompanied by a greying old fart) be sufficient ID ?
Saw that video from You Tube. Brilliant.
Really looking forward to the ride.
Cheers
Geoff
PS Arranandy, say hi if you see me looking lost and out of place.

Optimism is fading somewhat here, I still don't have an answer about getting the day off

Mike is currently not a happy bunny.

I may even sulk

@Telemark, have you decided whether you are going to join us on Saturday? If you want a lift through to the ferry with @ShooglyDougie and me we need to know to work out what time we need to leave in the morning. No hurry, along as you let us know by Friday evening.

And, thanks to Google streetview, there's no sign of any parking restrictions.

Ayr to Winchburgh on Saturday if you want to get some miles in

If your heading to Ardrossan down the M8, would service station at Livingston Deer Park roundabout be a good meeting point. If not I could probably get a lift to Winchburgh, too early for a cycle ! If still OK for lift what time do you reckon ?

Hi Dougie - thanks, will do! I'm afraid I need to carry on sitting on the fence for a bit longer, much as I'd like to just say yes (and be damned - if that's not a prohibited word on here ). Too many other commitments to juggle at the moment ...

Sorry to hear @MikeW-71 can't say yet, either - who is going to do the videos if you aren't there?

No restrictions on parking on Brodick seafront or there's a carpark along in the village at the beach which you could use.
I'll look out for you. I'll probably be riding a black and white (with a touch of orange) Colnago
