Day 7 ride from Dumfries to Lochranza is still in progress. Lochranza is our pit stop for the night and it lies on the Isle of Arran which is only accessible by ferry and thus, this is why I am able to blog mid ride. 80 miles covered and still a few miles to do at the Arran end. The ride up today was again very scenic and we have been blessed with sunny weather. The blessings continued as we waited at the ferry terminal and we saw the nearby wind turbines stop as the wind died then they turned around and started to turn again with a wind now blowing from the south east which is the direction we will cycle again when we get to The Arran. How sweet is that?
My bot bot is still aching like hell. The pain is so difficult to describe so I won't bother. I changed my saddle this morning with the spare bike's saddle but that has been quite hard to deal with. At the ferry terminal I switched the saddle again for my old mountain bike saddle so we will see. I also have 2 pairs of cycle shorts on so loads of padding but the downside of all that Lycra makes it very hard to go to the toilet!!
Anyway, ferry is coming into dock so I will sign off for now....
