Arran was beautiful; the scenery was stunning and we were lucky enough to have a lovely sunny day for our ride.
The road network on Arran is very simple - one road around the island, and one across the middle. However Amanda and Steve still managed to take a wrong turn, meaning they explored a bit more of the island than planned - in total, an extra six miles - but we all still arrived in Lochranza together.
Our return to the mainland meant a long ride on the A83 alongside the crystal clear waters of Loch Fyne, Amanda and Louise even saw a seal!
When we finally arrived at our hotel in Kilmartin we were greeted by the local poet - a gentleman who stored the remnants of the last week's meals in his beard. "He's in Lochgilphead" as the local saying goes...
Planned miles: 64.4
Actual miles: 65.3 (or 72.1 for Amanda and Steve)
Total miles: 771.5
Punctures: 0
Steve's Helmet Humidity Index: 68% (we all hope it will fall soon after a thorough cleaning)
Beer of the day: Arran Brewery Red Squirrel
