Neilston and Paisley Circular Cycle

3 places left
Blow away the festive cobwebs and kick off 2023 with this 30-mile cycle loop!
Our route will take us through the south side of Glasgow, through Waterfoot and Newton Mearns to Neilston, and around the edge of Fereneze Braes, past the Thornley Dam into Paisley where we'll have a quick coffee stop in the town centre. We'll complete the ride along NCN route 7 for a relatively flat finish back into Glasgow through Pollok Park.
The ride should take us no more than about 4 hours.
Check out the proposed route here.
