Arran

[Tony Cano]

I'm a bit of a noob, just doing wee cycles max distance normally 10miles with a max 30 miler on the flat
So I change the old road bike for a mountain (Trek 4300) as my son has a mountain bike and was looking for company out on the cycle tracks/paths.
Then as a works charity event 1st part we decided to cycle round Arran 2nd part climb Goatfell. To be done over 2 days. So for the first time back on a bike for a few months and now in a different cycling position I along with my group headed for Arran. Totally underestimated this ride! But managed it in 5 hrs 16 minutes, which is thought was not to bad for an overweight 46 year old?
Part 2 wasnt to bad.
What I will say is Arran is a fantastic place to for a cycle but get some hill training in first!
BTW we raised over £6000
Just thought I'd share my/our achievement

Don't mention the "A" word or you'll have @Louch frothing at the mouth!
Nice bit of cycling, and well done with the fund raising.
Welcome to CC BTW, and if you're looking for another hill to climb, there is always this ride tomorrow .

Sounds interesting but too short a notice for me! Maybe next time
Thanks for all the comments though

Crikey - that's hard work riding in that part of the world. Long time since I hiked up there but I do remember the stunning views!

Well done to you btw!
