6 places left
A weekend road cycle for everyone.
This is a cycle of about 55Km on bike friendly roads and paths. It should take us less than 4 hours - depending on stops.
At a leisurely pace we shall head towards Paisley. Established paths and some B roads will take us to Bridge of Weir, Howwood and back to Glasgow.
We will mostly be on tarmaced roads and paths - which will be fine for most bikes.
This is a group cycle and nobody gets left behind.
A Strava route for the event is available to logged-in members
