The ride this time has us skirting the city centre, then heading out through the north eastern part of the city and into the countryside beyond Robroyston. Then we carry on towards Cumbernauld, passing Arria, before joining the Forth & Clyde Canal near Banknock.

There’s another event about Elderslie TODAY 2–7pm in Erskine Sport Centre.
