Secondly, here's an idea, if your gonna make a cycle path/way, at least make the surface usable for bikes and not tanks!! Rant over!
I would just like to say how much I enjoyed our stay at the Old Schoolhouse b&b, it was cracking. Lovely pasta and apple and rhubarb crumble for dinner, get in!
Day 10 started as normal, although I did have brown toast, healthy me! The difference with today's ride was that we were on a bit of tight deadline, we had to be at Gourock 65 miles away no later that 2.35 to catch the ferry across the Clyde to Helensburgh. So we had brekkie earlier and set off at 8.40. We did the first 34 miles in 2 and a quarter hours so a good start. Then we head into the wind for the next 30 ish miles and quite a few hills, one registered 32% gradient, mega steep! We were going about 80% so it was hard work, it has been the only pressure we have put on ourselves all trip. We arrived at the ferry port with 20 minutes to spare so were well pleased with the effort put in. We were rewarded with views to die for, we both didn't expect how beautiful it was, we kind of expected docks and a bit of a dump! Nice to be wrong!
One day!!
