Strathclyde Cycle Campaign
Yes, it’s a new month and time for another GoBike ride exploring, this month, to the east of the city.
All the details are on our Cycle Rides page. We look forward to meeting you at the north end of Bell’s Bridge on Sunday 03 July at 10:00am.
We will head off through Cathcart and Linn Park, and head out through Carmunnock to get to the outskirts of East Kilbride (avoiding trunk roads such as the A726). We’ll take a little time to explore the K-Woodlands, before joining a cycle route into the town centre to see the new cycle infrastructure there. After continuing across town, we will return to Glasgow, descending through Castlemilk and King’s Park, where we might just see Aitkenhead House, shown in the photo, just in time for lunch.
Due to road and path closures, there will be a couple of short sections of the ride that will be on main roads.
25 miles, including some off-road paths and steps in the K-Woodlands.
Meet 10am north end of Bell’s Bridge, Congress Road, Glasgow.
Make it a good start to May with this tour of the north-west of Glasgow with Andy. See here for details.
Meet, as usual, 10:00 at the north end of Bell’s Bridge for this 20 mile ride.
Yes, this month’s ride will be easy on the legs coming back, with an interesting tour on the way out to Cathkin Braes.

A total of 12 people joined Andy on the Infrastructure Ride to the East, braving the sunshine and seeing many different types and conditions of infrastructure in the east of Glasgow.
The overall verdict? Improving, but could do better, much better. Let’s start with some good infrastructure:

Our first ride of the year is the now-traditional Infrastructure Ride and this year we will be heading east to see the London Road, or East City Way cycle lanes – will it all be as good as we hope?
Cumbernauld Road will be included in our travels too – see here for further details and get that bike ready for the ride!
Meet 10am Bell’s Bridge, Congress Road, Glasgow.
We will cut across the south side of Glasgow to Rutherglen. We’ll pass through Overtoun Park then continue across town to the Cuningar Loop Woodland Park. After that, we will return to Glasgow Green and the riverside through Dalmarnock. The ride is around 12 miles long, so will finish before lunchtime.
See https://www.gobike.org/about-us/cycle-rides for further details of the GoBike rides, which are led by Andy Preece, with always something new to see.
