Sunday Cycle and Lunch - Clyde Walkway to East Kilbride
9 people attending
3 places left
A weekend cycle for everyone.
This is a medium length cycle of 39 km on bike friendly roads and paths, it should take us less than 3 hours.
A leisurely pace will take us along the Clyde walkway to Newton. We then head south and climb towards East Kilbride. Carefully (!) crossing a busy road will take us onto some B roads to Carmunnock. And finally a short downhill back to Glasgow Green.
We will stop for some lunch or a coffee close to or at the end of the cycle.
The route is shown on the link below (minor changes may apply - for example if the weather is terrible we shall do a shorter cycle).
