Do I really need to ?

Weren't they the reasons you’ve been banned from here on numerous occasions already @perthshirebell @PB 4.2 Etc etc?

Feel free to report me , you deluded simpleton 

Goodness no.   What makes you think I'd post anything that's racist, sexist or homophobic?    

Why do you always have to enter any discussion about cycling with the raw unfiltered anger we - the P and B community - have become accustomed to from your username?   

We have another dead cyclist and another family ruined and all you can think about is verbally attacking another forum member.    And remember behind every username there is a user with a name - mine's Grahame for example - and your attitude can be deeply hurtful and offensive.

Maybe one of the mods can enlighten us then as to why you’ve received so many bans from this forum if you’re still in denial as to the reasons 

Oh and by the way, you’re trying way too hard now :)

If you're so interested ask @keithgy and @Cardinal Richelieu  The former has banned me 91 times and the latter once.   The former because I disagreed with his policies on van based stopping distances, and the latter for pasting an Alan Partridge quote.   

All of this is of course completely irritating from my perspective.   Let's talk about cycling.  Let's talk about football and stop spamming the page.

I'm a Partridge fan, so pleading Partridgean quotes cuts no ice, but even if I did, you've been warned time and time again to stop being a dick. 

God knows how many aliases you've had. I'd wager more than anyone. You're desperate to post your patter left right and centre (some of which has been amusing but much not) 

How about this? Never post on thus cycling thread again, stick within the rules, and I'll never bother you again.

Appreciate the frank admission you were in the wrong.    I've never posted anything homophobic, sexist or racist because I don't hold these views and I don't attack anyone via my words or physical attacks.   My mates often joke if I was a stretch of water the world over I'd be Lake Placid!    I don't need a large doobie to be permanently chillaxed.   

Let's get back to talking about the cycling!   We're less than four months away from the Tour de France.    That opening Saturday I love to get up early grab a 6-pack of Orangina, make a Jambon Baguette chuck on Eurosport and I'm in televisional heaven.    

Who's your tip for the big race Cardinal?

I am planning to do the "Five Ferries" Challenge in the summer, ferry from Adrossan to Brodick, cycle to Lochranza, ferry to Claonig, cycle to Tarbet, ferry to Portavadie, cycle to Colintraive, ferry to Rhubodach and cycle to Rothesay and finally ferry to Wemyss Bay. 51 miles of pedalling through some absolutely stunning countryside.
Has anyone done this before? And if so any tips or sound words of wisdom.
TIA

Sounds like you have to get a move on to catch some of the ferries.

The only tricky one I think is getting from Brodick to Lochranza in about an hour and 15 minutes. Still there are worse places to be stranded.

I did that years ago, loaded with panniers, slow as f**k I am, and I just missed it by seconds, so I guess you'll be fine. That Bogullie is the only bad bit if you don't know it already.

Coming back south over the Bogullie is the only time I ever reached 40 mph on a bike.

Really hope PSG knock out Man Utd because they're English.    No other reason.

Did it about 10 years ago with a trip and overnight on Islay after jumping over to Jura to climb the paps. Wonderful weekend with brilliant weather, hope it’s the same for you!

I’ve done it a few times and if the weathers good , it can be one of the best days on the bike you’ll have .

As someone’s already said , the only time you might be tight for time I’d getting from Brodick to Lochranza.

If you fancy adding a few miles , I’d suggest parking your car at Wemyss Bay then cycling to Ardrossan ferry terminal ,

It means on the way back , the last ferry you take goes from Rothesay to Wemyss Bay and you’re cars there ( fully appreciate it then goes from Wemyss Bay to Ardrossan)

If you can can do it at short notice( as nothing needs ore booked ) all the better , as you can chose a good day , as it can be bloody miserable in the cold and wet

Really angry to read this.    https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/news/scotland/cyclists-pushed-into-union-canal-by-gang-of-youths/  

There's absolutely never any need for retaliation and mindless thuggery.    Chuck 'em into the canal and you're no better than them.

Anyone done the 5 ferries challenge?

Thinking about doing this over next couple of weeks. Just looking for some info on how long it took to cycle the Brodick to Lochranza leg as this seems the tightest for catching next ferry.

This was discussed a couple of pages ago.   The conclusion was it's very do-able.
