Jock and me



















Departed Dumfries at 8.30 am. Lost my way but used iPhone to get back on track. Decided to use the A76 to Kilmarnock. Mostly ok but in places the white line disappears and when this is on an uphill left hand bend , then things become dangerous. At Mauchline took cross country route at the Burns memorial to Tarbolton and thence to Dundonald and Irvine. By chance found a cycle route to Ardrossan across beautiful gorse covered landscape, two golf courses and single track road. Arrived in Ardrossan about 18.30 and fairly quickly found a B&B overlooking the seafront. Jock and Enid came over from Lenzie to meet up with me for a convivial evening at the Lauriston Hotel. Intend to catch the 9.45am ferry to Brodick.

Stats for today:
Distance 78 miles
Max speed 36.5 mph
Avg speed 10.3 mph
Cumulative distance 708miles.
