Strathclyde Cycle Campaign
Here’s the route from Sunday, up through the town and on to the Cowcaddens Cycle Lane and over the rusty bridge – the planted areas are coming on and might even block out the motorway traffic soon.

We visited the Seven Lochs Trail shortly after opening, a few years back. So this will be a repeat visit, taking in the route between Hogganfield Loch and Drumpellier Country Park.
Superb weather, superb scenery, but a rubbish screen print from Strava, unless you are into these segments, above. Sorry about that. Lots more info below:

Our longest ride of the year will be to Edinburgh via Bathgate. Previously, we have done rides to Edinburgh starting in Airdrie, but this one will be cycling all the way. We will set out via the East End of Glasgow, climb steadily up to Coatbridge and Airdrie, and then join the railway path to Bathgate.

On Sunday 07 June, 5 of us set off on our ride to the sea. Out through Govan on roads some of which were new to us and then we joined the cycle route as we got nearer to Paisley. The rain started just short of Lochwinnoch, making it a good time to get into the cafe.

The ride on Sunday 07 June, to Irvine Beach, or for the fainter hearted, to Lochwinnoch, will be our longest one, so far, this year.
Seven of us set off, some weeks ago now, from the SEC and made our way north through Kelvingrove Park, North Woodside, Firhill, Possilpark, Parkhouse, skirting Milton and then Bishopbriggs to reach the Forth and Clyde canal.
A few miles along the canal towpath brought us to Kirkintilloch for a refreshment/toilet break, before we turned off the canal path towards Milton of Campsie, cycling past hordes of bluebells and wild garlic.
We continued past Lennoxtown to reach Strathblane. Then it was the major hill up to Mugdock Country Park – not many bikes there, but lots of cars in the carparks – these people don’t know what they are missing.

This ride will follow an old favourite route – the Strathblane Railway Path. We will leave through North Glasgow and Bishopbriggs to join the Forth & Clyde Canal to Kirkintilloch.
Yes, it was just about that bad. Beautifully sunny before we left home, a bit dull on the way to meet up and then ……
