I'll be there, I love Arran and my Great Granny came from Arran, so i've been a few times. I'll probably be there in advance of you lot as I hope to camp for a couple of days. Tarmac circuit of the island is nice if you stick to the coast, inland roads are mega steep, did it once anti clockwise on a Brompton :shock:

Eager to try the red or black graded routes marked out by the Arran MTB Club. I could email them and ask nicely if one or more of their members might like to join us and guide us around the route on the day

Looking forward to it ,

I'd like to go, i take it bikes are free on the ferry so you just dump your van/car/whatever on the mainland and pedal onboard?
Is it mostly offroad and what sort of distance are you looking at, overall?

 

[kaiser]

murf I think you do pay for the bike but its a £1 or summat. I'll post up a timetable and pricelist distance wise the red route is 18k and the black is 35k.
