Let's Cycle to Bowling
5 people attending
3 places left
Join me on a gentle leisure cycle starting at Bells Bridge and heading along the Clyde to Bowling. We'll stop for a spot of lunch then head back along the Forth and Clyde Canal to head down the River Kelvin. This will take us under Byres Road and through Kelvingrove Park back down to where we started. A round trip of around 24 miles with a nice break midway.
