Sarah and I have cycled from the Firth of Clyde to the Firth of Forth before. On that occasion, for various reasons, we had gone off-course and taken a somewhat different route. For this tour, this time cycling with Andy S and Mike, we were determined to stay on course. First, however, we had to get to the start at Gourock!
