Have you tried unclipping at 6 o'clock instead of 12 o'clock? not strictly the right way but it can be easier.

Naa seriously have a good one everyone, look after MikeW-71, he is a good guy to ride with and he has good taste in bikes ;-)

We doing this again next month?

Aww, thanks I still feel a little guilty for slowing you down on the Langholm ride, you were flying up the hills compared to me.

I'm certainly up for another one, I'll have to return the favour and come up with a route down at this end

I have always unclipped at 6. Found after fife ride that I was fine with saddle little higher. With Harry it was to avoid running into him.

Sounds like a plan, it was a great route and I still have it saved. Girls welcome too

Have a great time tomorrow!

Last time we went around Arran, we took about 5 1/2 hours (odo time) on hybrids with overnight panniers, so it should take you guys a lot less time without luggage .
Our trip was spread over 2 days including the train & ferry from and to Edinburgh, exploring all over the island, starting at Wooley's of Arran in Brodick (excellent baking! ), a wee diversion via the Kildonan Wall etc (you need to do this uphill ), Blackwaterfoot beach & caves, Machrie Moor stone circles, Lochranza castle, seal watching, cheese tasting at the cheese factory...
