Yesterday Wally and I cycled the Arran Figure of 8. There are various permutations, but the classic route involves cycling the String Road twice. It's 111km and nearly 1700m of ascent. We did the Southend first, which condemmed us to a lot of headwinds on the flat, but gave us a tailwind on the String which I think was probably a good thing. Also, there's no way my legs would have been happy if we'd left the hilly southend till last. I'd probably still be somewhere in Kilmory sleeping under a hedge.
There was no time deadline to yesterday's ride, so we grazed our way around the island.
