Burnside - Chapelton - Burnside circular

As shown but if you want any further clarification, please message me.
Please be aware that we aim for an average speed on the move of 10 – 11 mph. This is not the route for you if you are looking for a much faster road ride.

I describe this route as a leisure ride. We will not be going too fast but we try to maintain a minimum speed on the move of 10 mph. The route aims to avoid busy roads and makes use of designated cycle routes as much as possible. We leave and finish at Hugh's in Burnside. The route takes us out to Chapelton, going through Carmunnock and Jackton, and returning through East Kilbride. You can view the route in detail at https://ridewithgps.com/routes/53590039

We will be using mainly quiet roads on the way out and much of the return will be on dedicated cycle ways. There are some short sections of ‘busier’ roads.

The ride heads out to Broadlees Golf Club in Chapelton where we will stop at the café which has toilets. It is very cyclist friendly. If anyone sees something they'd like to stop and look at, we'll stop.

This is Scotland and as we all know, the weather can be ‘variable’. Please check the forecast before leaving and come prepared. If the weather looks to be really terrible, the ride is likely to be cancelled.

First-timers welcome but please check the anticipated cycle speed.
