Arranged partly as a warm-up for the Island Hop to Kintyre and Caledonia Cycleway events and welcoming event for a couple of their participants from further afield, our 15 mile route will take us through Pollok Park, along the White Cart Cycle Route, into Linn Park and finally over Cathkin Braes, where we may enjoy some fine views across the whole of the city.
