Gourock Outdoor Swimming Pool

A longer ride to mark the beginning of April. The route is Ferry 1 - Gourock McInroy's Point to Hunter's Quay, Dunoon and then up thru Sandbank, over to Clachaig on the B836, round the head of Loch Striven, left at B886 down into Colintraive. Ferry 2 takes us over to Rhubodach after which we go round Bute to Rothesay. Ferry 3 takes us to Wemyss Bay from where we cycle the few miles back to Gourock. The route is 40 basic miles, but riders have the option of making it 50 or 60 if they do one of the extra loops on Bute. We meet at the car park down behind the Gourock Pool at 10.30am ready to cycle the mile down to the ferry. Please note that there is no parking at the ferry terminal at McInroy's Point and the on-road parking there is restricted. Clearly this is a day outing but we'd be aiming to get the ferry back from Rothesay in the late afternoon. Please note this ride is on the Saturday rather than the usual Sunday If you would like to help improve Spokes please take 5 mins to answer a short survey http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/QJVNTPN Thank you
