Today’s trip:

From saltcoats, north along the A78 and cycle paths to Hunterston. Turned right at Fairlie, and over the Fairlie Moor road towards Dalry.

A very sore climb up to the top!

Kept following the Fairlie Moor road past the Caaf reservoir, then took a right onto a farm road, which runs parallel to the “windmill road”. That took me to the Dalry-WestKilbride road near the Munnoch dam. Kept following the farm roads, which took me towards the Dalry-Saltcoats road, and back to Saltcoats.

About 20 miles.

That's a very steep climb, were you able to do it in a oner?

[Bruce]

I had to stop just over half way up cos a car was coming the other way and there wasn’t enough room to pass. And then I admired the view for a while.....

That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

Same route today. The hill wasn’t any easier!

I had another trip along to Largs today, via west kilbride. Took my bike into the shop a few days ago for a “free service” - they adjusted a few things, but it also appears to have developed a creak near the bottom bracket. Or maybe it was my legs....

[bonzo]

20 miles this morning headed out to loans then along the back of the papermill to shewalton, Drybridge and into Dreghorn doon the auld bray and back on to the cycle path to Irvine back through the Moor and hame.

[Bruce]

Just Largs again for me today, via west kilbride. 27 miles.
