Today I cycled round the Isle of Arran in a figure of 8. Arran is a beautiful island off the west coast of Scotland and is known as Scotland in minature as it has the highlands in the north and the lowlands in the south. Doing it this way is about 70 miles and it involves some serious climbs, long undulating stretches and some scary decents due to the condition of the road.
I was cycling with 3 pals who will all be doing the Bealach Mor and managed to hold my own until the last 4 miles when they left me for dead. I was pleased with my performance but it shows I need more hill work over the next month.
If you haven't visited Arran then make sure you do. It has everything and I loved the experience.
Have just finished dinner and having a couple of glasses of wine to ease the pain!
