Look upon it as an adventure, something to aim for when training through the winter months, a day to remember....well Arran will never be forgotten :shock:
I doubt very much I would do it on a SS but I'm sure a compact gear set would manage to cope
Arran was a nice ride, even in the pouring rain, hail, thunder & lightening,etc. but it wasn't really a challenge.
Bealach na Bà on the other hand would be for me, one hell of a challenge, something to aim for and train for during the winter months hopefully giving me the motivation to get off my ass and pedal harder.
It's something I wanted to do for a while now, I'm definitely going to attempt it within the next 6/8 months and if anyone wishes to tag along they are more than welcome, but do make sure you let yourself know what you're in for
If anyone is up for this event let me know and we can start making arrangements for next year
47p2, dont you ever claim your slow, likely to be at the back etc ever again !!!!
Thats what we got from you on Arran but now you state Arran wasn't really a challenge and now you think we should ride the highland equivalent of Alpine passes.
Your a big fibber, leave being crap and slow to the experts in that field such as me
