A long cycle from Glasgow to Lesmahagow and back.
From Glasgow Green we shall head south, skirting around East Kilbride and Strathaven on mostly B roads. We then head towards Coalburn, but take a left towards Lesmahagow to avoid busier roads. Opportunity for a coffee or refreshments there. The return leg takes us North West towards Blantyre and then back to Glasgow Green.
