------------------------------------------
A Saturday cycle for everyone.
This is a medium length cycle of 54Km, on bike friendly roads and paths. It should take us about 3-4 hours.
A leisurely pace will take us to the southern outskirts of Glasgow. Then head from Newton Mearns over to the B769 and follow it towards Stewarton. We will take the Clunch Rd over to the A77 and head back to Glasgow.
Unfortunately we can't stop for lunch so please bring some snacks or have a good breakfast!
The route is shown on the link below.

(The gradient on this Strava page looks much more intimidating than it really is! And the last 20Km is all downhill :) )
