A trip to Arran

Sunday 9th May

ATHelite Tri Club is planning a trip to Arran.

There are 2 cycle routes available to cater for all abilities. There is the North circular which is 32 miles (realistically you have 5-7 hours to complete) or the Arran circular which is 57 miles.

Arran North Circular - A B C D A

A stunning route around Arran's high mountains. Flat coast roads, plus 2 big inland hills. Achievable by most people with good fitness. 32 miles. 3 to 5 hours.

Arran Circular - A B C E F G H J A

The famous ‘Round the Island' route, a tough combination of both North and South circulars, an

excellent days challenge requiring a good level of fitness. 57 miles, 5 to 8 hours.

We will get the 0945 Ferry from Ardrossan which will get us in to Brodick, Arran for 1040

We will depart at 1640 arriving back at 1735.

The ferry costs £9.70.
