No, it's an on-going saga. Link. The whole pier was supposed to close last month, for the summer. For technical reasons (the supplier of the pier fenders couldn't supply, apparently!) the closure has been postponed until September; but there is still smaller scale work being done meantime.
There are a couple of choices. There are quite a few residential streets in upper Skelmorlie. Take the first left after the entrance to Wemyss Bay caravan site (which is opposite the ferry terminal) and follow your nose up the hill. Should be a number of streets you can park in up there - the nicer streets are off to the right. Does mean a bit of a climb when returning to your car of course!
. Anyway, it's the only houses you can see on the right as you start to head down the hill towards the ferry terminal. You could park in there and ride the last half mile to the Wemyss Bay pier - or go the other way towards Gourock, because that's the way you'll be heading anyway.
Spare a thought for us who will be riding to the start, and if legs are still up for it, riding back from Wemyss Bay...Sounds like it might be easier to park in Gourock but then I think I would rather do the extra miles at the start than the end

We don't need to know about your browsing habits, Colin.I'm possibly doing something daft on Friday as the Mrs is away so might not have the legs for anything on saturday
