We could suggest holding it in Glasgow...

Less of the carry on, esteemed moderator: if @Brandane gets too embarrassed to be seen with me, YOU are gonna join me in the 110 hilly ride. It's probably gonna be raining lots, bring a life jacket
Better start training!

No embarrassment here @Pat "5mph" ; but it was nice of you to give me an excuse to step down from this challenge. It beats feigning injury or going to my Granny's wedding. No danger; I WILL be there (unless injured or attending my Granny's wedding - or it's raining).
Actually, touching wood here, the long standing hip injury does seem to be improving since I laid off the cycling. Only been out once in the past month or so. Once the fruit smoothie diet* takes effect I will be doing hilly centuries in my sleep. It's going to be a piece of cake .

*Just in from work and having a banana, raspberry, lime and honey one - in an orange juice base. Nectar!

Did somebody mention a piece of cake?
(ok, maybe it's a bit early for cake ...)

In my defense, I was enjoying a late savoury breakfast at the time

Where are the Rothesay ferries running to then; Gourock? Or have CalMac cut their ties with Gourock since they don't do Gourock/Dunoon any more? Not sure if there's even still a car ramp at Gourock. The only other pier for the Rothesay ferries would be Ardrossan. Largs is only a slipway.

I believe thats the case to Gourock that is, not seen any official repprts yet.
This is info from my daughter , but i will look further into it , but she is very reliable on locsl gossip

Thing is, we are holding one too, I heard for the whole month of June 2015, after the spectacular success of this year's.
@Embra people:

@Brandane are we minus a ferry for next year's 3 ferries ride?

Not planning to repeat the 3 ferries again TBH; going to be too busy training for the PFS 100 challenge .

Might come up with a CC Ecosse ride next year, but I think a change of route is called for. There is plenty of choice around here!

I have always fancied cycling around Arran....
