We had another sharp start to cycle up the coast to Ardrossan to catch the 9.45am ferry across to the Isle of Arran.
Today we have been blessed with beautiful sunshine with only a few clouds in the sky! The weather gods could have not picked a more perfect day for us to cycle around Arran.
Cycling around Arran is like a cyclist paradise with the coast and the mountains! On a day like today it would beat anywhere around the world.
When we set off to cycle around the island it was odd the first time in 8 days that we were heading South! Since today was the perfect day we decided we couldn’t miss cycling over the central string road and then head up the opposite coast to Lochranza. Cycling a total of 77 miles with a fair bit of climbing!
On climbing to the top of the Island, David announced he really likes the long steep climbs. I think the sun has got to him today!
We carried on up the beautiful coast watching the waves lap the shores, deer in the fields and buzzards overhead. Arran is out of this world and we are so glad we have taken a slight detour to see it in all it’s glory!
We are having a few problems getting some photos off the gopro, so will hopefully share some of the photos tomorrow!
Tomorrow is the first time that we will ‘try’ to have a lie in, due to the ferrys not running early on Sundays! From Arran we head back onto the mainland and up to Oban.

I’d have loved to have been on the ride with you today!! Great pictures of a great place on a great day 🙂
We were so lucky with the weather hence a bit of a scenic tour was needed. You definitely would have loved it. Onwards and upwards now with some shorter days so may put a few detours in now.
Looked like a beautiful day. Wish I had been there xxx
Sue you both need to cycle around Arran and hopefully get god weather.
At last perfect weather just in the right place. Slap on the sun cream and enjoy taking it a bit easier although 77 miles yesterday was still a full day for your rear ends 💥🚴💥🚵
It was fantastic scenery. When we get David’s pics of the go pro we will put them up also.
Gentlemen, you are both my heroes!
To cycle the distances you have done and still have the broad ‘Williams smile’ is incredible.
Take care and enjoy your success!.
Thanks David, what makes you think they are smiles, it’s just the relief from getting off the saddle!!!! Really enjoying it and in Oban sightseeing now.
