I was there a few weeks ago. Unfortunately I got soaked and then chilled on Arran and by the time I got to Islay I was feeling really bad and was off the bike for a few days.

If your after information on cycling, you could have a look at http://www.thewashingmachinepost.net - it has some stuff on cycling on Islay.

Do remember that the concept of summer in the northern latitudes is different to that further south. Summer is a time of long day light hours, but not necessarily of warm weather. It can be warm and sunny or it can be a howling gale, or both in the same day.

Do tell us how you got on when you come back.
