Here are some videos of our last day out on the bike. We took the long way from Aberfoyle to Dunoon.

I watched all three videos, Hank. What a beautiful place to ride. How many miles? I'd love to see it on a map too.
The music was very familiar too! Didn't sound like Scottish music.
Steve Earle sounded quite a bit younger!

Here is a link to a map of the route, distance 290 miles. The video starts a couple of miles after Aberfoyle and ends on the ferry from Hunter's Quay near Dunoon.

And yes Steve would have been about 33 years old when he recorded Guitar Town.

Steve Earl and great videos, what a treat!
When watching videos from places that drive on the left... I jump every time a car comes from the opposite direction.

I enjoyed your videos Hank.
Can you tell us the history behind England using the wrong side of the road to ride/drive? I don't think I would ever get used to that. Every time I saw a car approaching in the video I was like..."Aw sh*t, that car's in his lane!"

Not 100% sure why we drive on the left, but I think it dates back to the days of coach and horses. Something to do with being able to shoot highway men.
To help calm your nerves heres a video of me driving on the right in France.
