Today’s cycle ride: Drumpellier Park and Cranhill

Seven of us cycled east from the SEC along the Clyde today before turning north onto London Road and then towards Baillieston and Bargeddie.

After a break for lunch in Drumpellier Park, we started our return journey but stopped in Cranhill to admire the model lighthouses and winged figures around the water tower.

Yes, we had some rain early on but we soon dried out and could sit outside at the Park Cafe to eat our lunch.

Next month’s ride will be on Sunday 05 October, when we go to Goldenhill Park!
