Paisley and Renfew Evening Cycle
2 people attending
6 places left
Join us for an evening spin of around 24 miles, taking in the recently opened bridge across the Clyde linking Renfrew and Yoker.
Our route will take us along Sustrans Route 7 through Pollok Park and along the White Cart river path to Paisley. We'll then head north past Glasgow Airport and along part of the Clyde Coastal Path towards Renfrew, before crossing the Clyde and re-joining Route 7 for the ride back into the city.
Click here for a map of the proposed route (based on a ride we did in 2017) which includes the ferry crossing that has now been replaced with a new swing bridge opened earlier this month - the Ride with GPS app just hasn't quite caught up yet!
Much of the route will be flat and on well surfaced cycle paths or quieter roads and is generally suitable for road bikes, hybrids, mountain bikes or e-bikes.
