Grrr!
The track ended and I descended into Greenock: an important town with important looking buildings. Cycled along the esplanade and continued mostly on cycle paths to Gourock. Gourock, where you can catch a ferry to Dunoon and the Highlands... I turned my back and followed the Clyde south, joining the Ayrshire Coastal Path, which exceeded my expectations by being very good cycling.
By now I was gasping for elevenses. I found a boatyard café at Inverkip. It was closed. The door was locked: they were having kitchen renovations and there was no water. Luckily that were doing a very bad job of being closed. Customers sitting outside in the sun, and a steady stream of people arriving, finding the door locked, and being let in. They only offered a limited menu of hot drinks and bacon rolls, but it was a sacrifice I was prepared to make.
You rebel! fancy going past that serious fence and 'path closed' sign. Looks like a nice route though, so....fair enough.
