Strathclyde Cycle Campaign

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.

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.

Some years ago we ran a “Northern Sights” city tour ride, but on the day there happened to be thick fog! So now it’s time to attempt again.
Yes, this was our busiest ride for some time, and very good it was too! Some of us were old hands on the monthly rides but it was good to welcome some who were on their first GoBike adventure.
