our first attempt to cycling outside of edinburgh really.. we were really keen, Bea picked up her new bike a night before we left to arran, i had my bike for two weeks then.
we weren't sure how much we will manage to cycle and we didn't push it too much (which we now regret, we should have tried to come back to campsite ... but it was via string road)
next time!
anyway, we started at bridge end campsite and cycled northern part of arran, to brodick.
below is a short description:
1. bridge end to blackwaterfoot - down the hill
2. blackwaterfoot to tormore- up and down, i remember two biggish hills
3. tormore to imachar - flat :) along the sea shore, very nice
4. imachar to lochranza - 12% hill to imachar, then relatively flat, some small 'ups', really nice
5. lochranza to sannox - just past lochranza is a big hill and it drags for a couple of miles, but as soon as you reach the 'summit' (near small bridge) that's you done, it is down the hill to sannox and further to brodick
6. sannox to brodick - down the hill or flat, easy ride and very enjoyable

nie bylysmy pewne ile uda nam sie przejechac i nie czulysmy jakiejs wielkiej presji (a szkoda, bo powinnysmy byly jeszcze sprobowac dojechac do kampingu, przez string road) , coz, nastepnym razem :)
zaczelysmy od kampingu w bridge end i objechalysmy polnocna czesc arranu az do brodick
krotkie info:
1. bridge end do blackwaterfoot - z gorki
2. blackwaterfoot do tormore -roznie, pamietam ze byly dwie 'wieksze' gorki
3. tormore do imachar -plasko, wzdloz wybrzeza, fajnie
4. imachar do lochranza -12% gorka na poczatek, potem dosc plasko, hilka malych gorek, fajnie!
5. lochranza do sannox - zaraz za lochranza zaczyna sie porzadna gorka, kilka mil pod gore.. ale jak juz sie na nia wjedzie to potem w sumie az do brodick jest z gorki
6. sannox do brodick- najpierw z gorki a potem plasko, latwo i milo :)
