Scotland : Argyll, Isles & Loch Lomond Chat for CC Ecosse Islay Cycle Tour 2014

[Louch]

No just completing the loop of the island then cycling back

 

[Edwardoka]

Only problem: will I stand the pace??? A training regime needs to be followed strictly here ...

Given that we've all witnessed firsthand that the "5mph" in your usename is a complete fabrication, I don't think that the pace on an extended pootle will be an issue

Why on earth would you subject yourself to the Bogoullie twice on the same ride? Are you sick?

 

[Louch]

It would only be once from each side

ummm...

Granted, it wasn't on purpose, but still...

As for the topic of the thread, I am following it with interest, but I cannot commit this far in advance.

Like I said back then, I'm surprised that the Bogoullie even registers as a hill for you

I'll drop Graeme another mail with our tentative dates. He's aware that it's only a maybe at the moment. He's in the RAF and is on the way back to Germany at the moment so I suspect it could be a couple of days until I hear from him.

I know its not difficult but I'm lost on what @Louch is suggesting we do

I don't want to stop before the big b*astard hill. If we are staying overnight, i want to cylcle back to Brodick, then turn back to the overnight stop, coming back over big b*stard hill. Not expecting everyone or even anyone else to want to do it.

An optional extra
Let's see what the weather is like, as far as I am concerned ... Downhills on wet roads

@Pat "5mph" told me about this one today and it sounds like a great idea - I'm definitely interested in bolstering the female contingent along with Pat and @Telemark I'll keep an eye on developments

Fri 15th Aug is mentioned in @Fubar's timetable on page 1 as the likely departure date ... Fingers crossed it suits you! I'm still tentative, as we haven't sorted out when to take our summer holidays ...
