Each week I ought to do a ride 60% of the distance of ;The Ride' - 60 miles. So, having scrutinized the weather - particularly the wind - I left the the training camp/bungalow at 07.15 to catch the wee ferry at Feolin,8 miles around the southern end of the island. This took me into a headwind but I managed it in 45 minutes. I then dd a loop on Islay, starting at the 25% hairpin out of Port Askaig, then 40 miles to Port Ellen and back. Apart from that one hill, Islay is pretty flat by Scottish standards, but the wind was in my face and made up for the low hillage.
