Sunday 1 November 2026 – ride to the South and South-East with GoBike

Clyde Walkway bridges near Cambuslang
Netherlee Road, Cathcart


Since the Aurs Road active travel infrastructure , previously to have been the focus of November’s ride, has not been completed, we will check it out in 2027.


In its place is an urban exploration of the south and southeast of the city area, taking in Hillpark, Cathcart, Castlemilk, Cambuslang, and returning into Glasgow along the Clyde Walkway. We will use the new cycleway on Dumbreck Road, and pass by the Clyde Cycle Park in Cambuslang. The finish point will be at Glasgow Green in time for lunch.
20 miles, with mostly urban streets, and a mix of cycle infrastructure. The main climb is up to Castlemilk.

We will meet at our usual location, just to the east of Bell’s Bridge on the north bank of the Clyde at the SEC. Time 10:00

GoBike ride. 03 May, the route

Mugdock Country Park
GoBike ride: 03 May, route map

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.

December’s GoBike ride – here’s the route

and here’s the link to the route: https://www.plotaroute.com/route/3187075?units=km It was a superb tour of the north of the city. In true Andy style, though, there were some narrow paths in parks – we went through Springburn, Ruchill and Victoria parks, but the five of us who turned up enjoyed it all.
