(0) ReviewsI describe this route as a leisure ride. It tries to avoid roads as much as possible. However, to get from the south side of Glasgow to the north (and back) almost inevitably involves using roads. We head out to Bishopbriggs taking in Hogganfield Loch and Robroyston Park. We then ride along the Forth and Clyde Canal to Stockingfield Bridge. From there we go to Ruchill Park, and on to the Spears Wharf Canal Spur, stopping off at the Claypits. We then cross Sighthill Bridge and ride down to Bridgeton where we head back to Cambuslang.
The route is classified as paved for most of its length. There will be some cycling on roads which have cycle lanes and some with none. To make this a circular route, it is necessary to use roads. Some have cycle lanes; most do not but generally they are reasonably quiet roads. The route along the canals is paths shared with pedestrians.
We will stop at the Cadder Parish Church Coffee Shop in Bishopbriggs for coffee and cake. We will probably be too early for cooked food. https://www.cadderchurch.org/coffeeshop.html
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.
We never leave anyone behind
