Strathclyde Cycle Campaign
This ride will see us take a tour around some of the parks, sporting venues, and other attractions around the south side of the city.
We will start with the south west of the city and work around to the south east, ending up back at the River Clyde in time for lunch.
Not one, but two rides for you this weekend; the first is a feeder ride for the COP26 demonstration on Saturday, see yesterday’s blog for details and the second is our regular first Sunday in the month GoBike ride.

However, we have an abundance of new infrastructure in Glasgow because of these very restrictions (although, sadly, some of it might only be temporary – unless we campaign to keep it!)
To encourage us all to get out to see these new facilities we are delighted and very grateful that Andy has come up with not one, but three rides.
