Lovely day here in the West of Scotland. Still suffering from a little bit of loss-of-cycling-mojo - but today was great!
Left Saltcoats and Ardrossan, heading north along the coast road. Detour out to Portencross (11km), stopped for a few mins to take in the view across to Arran, and to watch the paddle boarders and canoes.
Back inland, followed the cyclepaths to the Hunterston road, then followed the road past the power station to the jetty. Turned back, and kept going North when I met the main road.
Approaching Largs, cut in at "The Pencil", and along the coast path into Largs. 33km done. Coffee and cake, sitting on a bench watching the ferries come and go. Hot sunny morning, no clouds, beautiful views over the Clyde. Could have sat there for hours - but back on the bike, another 20km back home along the main road.
