Scotland : Ayrshire & Arran Arran 7th June

[Edwardoka]

He was going for a Strava segment, Col and I were cruising uphill unaware of that, then when I got round the corner and saw that lovely long downhill, I had to see what speed I could get it up to about 40mph as it turned out.

I knew that the long downhill was coming, my strategy for group rides is to attack on the descents so that people don't have to wait so long for me at the top of the next climb

 

[Edwardoka]

I didn't make the fast cut

Didn't you max out at about 20mph down the Bogoullie?

Didn't you max out at about 20mph down the Bogoullie?

33.5 on the first long flats, 29.5 on the bogouille descent when I restarted from half way down . 36.7 on second visit.

How do you know the speeds so accurately?

I maxed out at 48.3 mph. I have no desire to ever go faster...

What rasmus doesn't tell you is that he maxed out at 48.3 going uphill

I'm training!

Sadly I won't now be in a position to attend, although I don't think I could bring myself to visit Arran again anyway.

Someone make sure to check @Harry_Palmer79's brakes before descending the Boagoullie!

Don't worry, I'll be taking it easy like last time.... (I was still doing about forty though, even hardly turning a pedal!) Helpful as the staff at the hospital were, I have no intention of visiting them again if I can help it!

Sorry to hear you won't be in attendance for this (or the Islay tour) hope you can make it along to a CC ride at some point soon though...

Just to inform you guys that there now is a Belles on Bikes group in Arran.
Take care not to be passed on the hills by a Pashley with basket

It feels a long way away. I need to do some running this month for Edinburgh 1/2 marathon on 25th, a little weekend cc meet would be good
