Glasgow evening cycle - A pedal and a pint
6 people attending
6 places left
Join us for a pedal and a pint.
Come along and join us on this easy social cycle to Pollok park and back.
This event is a great way to meet new people and catch up with friends. We shall be using cycle paths so the route is suitable for any kind of bike. This is a relaxed leisure cycle and nobody gets left behind.
Our second event will take us from the river Clyde south east to Bellahouston park. After a few loops around the "Belladrome" track we shall head south to Polllok park. Instead of cycling straight through, we shall do a bit of exploring. https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/?articleid=16592 We may bump into a deer or two and very likely say hi to some Highland Cows.
We shall head back to Glasgow Green and finish the evening with a cold refreshment at West Brewery.
I usually include Strava links for events, but this one was too tricky. By the time we go around the "Belladrome" a few times and potter around Pollok park, I'd estimate this event to be near 30Km.
Oh, and the WILL be a race around the "Belladrome"!
