Grand Day Out

A gang of us headed to Millport, more correctly the Isle of Cumbrea, to go cycling. Its about a 15 minute sail from Largs, which is about 30 minutes up the road from home. Fiona regularly goes out on these expeditions and since Ciaran and I were available we tagged along.
Despite it being cold it was a lovely breezy day. Fiona collected us and we met up with her pals Laurie and Sheila at the ferry car park where we left the cars. The other two, Colin and David, were bringing the car.
After meeting up on the ferry and arriving on the island we headed out in an anti-clockwise direction (which seems to be the normal direction to head off in on bikes). 
The cycling was quite low key as it has been the first time out for most of them in a while, certainly this year. We headed around to the Fintry Bay tearoom where we all had a roll and square sausage.
After we had eaten we headed out again, continuing our lap of the island. By the time we all got to the ferry the two 'serious' cyclists we saw on the ferry had completed their 3rd lap. Once we had settled, we headed back to the tearoom  (clockwise this time) for lunch.
Ciaran was great. He hasn't quite figured out the cycling just for the fun, but he would cycle ahead until he saw something interesting to climb on where he would dismount and climb rocks or throw stones. After a few minutes we would move on again and thus our laps were completed.
2 laps in total, just shy of 21 miles in a little over 2 hours cycle time, pretty much all day, but a good day.
