... not too bad considering that we have so little spare time for it. Take last week-end for example. I was due to fly out of Prestwick on Sunday for a business trip to France. The colleague and I planned to do a 40 mile run round the back roads of Ayrshire on Saturday, so I booked into a hotel in Prestwick for the Saturday night and took the bike down on the back of the car. So we set off on the road to Straiton and Maybole, good hilly roads to get the lungs working, and then down towards the coast road between Culzean Castle and the Electric Brae.
All in all it was four and a half hours in the saddle and the after effects were not too unbearable. So now we're looking forward to this coming Saturday for the main event. We reckon to leave Brodick at 11.00 a.m. and head clockwise round the island. If we complete in the time we think we will need then we'll be back in Brodick by 6.00 p.m. It will be a great achievement just to finish on the same day, for me at least, so wish me luck.
