And I didn't really keep up with Rado at Killin, I just kept him in sight. For a while.
I'll have full geared plastic sub 8kg racer this time... Muahahahahah! Although I may sleeping on bike as I'll be after one of my pal's birthday nigt out.
Just noticed your signature 47p2, get Focus Cayo and we'll be like a team. Got same road bike, I think it's 2011 though.

Those are great bikes.
After looking at the elevations on Arran, I was going to take my single speed. It looks do-able, and you're still a youngster.
Just walk any steep bits. You can't go faster than your lungs can pump oxygen anyway, so a brisk walk equals grinding a granny uphill.
PS I see in the latest Scottish Cycling http://edition.pagesuite-professional.c ... 484310c391, there is a circuit of Arran. They allow 5 - 7 hours.

Sheeeeeiiiiit
I went and saw it and couldn't say no, it's like brand spanking new just out of the box with not even a blemish on the paintwork. It belonged to an old chap (yes there are older folk than me) who bought it new and travelled no more than 20 miles on it and decided it wasn't for him so it's been languishing in his garage for the past few years. Better pics once I've fixed the Range Rover as it decided it was time for the front window switches to pack-up. Quick call to LR parts and a new switch is £141.00 so I stripped the old one and found some corrosion inside, cleaned it up and put back together and in now seems to be working so I'm off out to put the door card back on...The joys of Land Rovers

I wish I was still a youngster
