Every year we travel to the Mull of Kintyre during the last weekend of July to celebrate two weddings and a couple of birthdays. This year will be no different and I wholly look forward to it again. This year will be slightly different. My friend David and I are threatening to cycle the distance from Glasgow to Carradale, on the Mull of Kintyre. We have three different routes, varying in length and "mountainacity".

The boring long way round via Loch Lomond. Flat-ish and 117miles.

The Easy Arran Route. Flat-ish and 80miles.

Via the Kyles of Bute. Hardcode and 87miles.

Needless to say we're going hardcore! via the Kyles of Bute. I've driven the route several times and the views from the top of the Kyles are absolutely amazing.
It starts this weekend with the first training ride of the year (gulp).
