Could you Beat the Ferry for Beatson Cancer Charity?
We challenge you to cycle 52 miles over four stages through spectacular Argyll countryside, while trying to catch the ferry at each stage!
Starting on the stunning island of Arran, you will set off from Brodick and aim to catch the ferry at each stage of the journey, before finishing up in Rothesay with a chippy to celebrate.
Sound like the challenge for you? It's time to get on board and enjoy breath-taking scenery across islands, sea and hills whilst raising vital funds for patients and their families facing cancer.
