25 Cycle Routes in and Around Glasgow: In and Around Glasgow (25 Cycle Routes Series) [Paperback]

Erl B. Wilkie (Author)

Book Description

Series: 25 Cycle Routes Series | Publication Date: February 1997

This series "25 Cycle Routes" provides routes, each specially selected for interest and enjoyment and has been cycled by the author. The maps are supported by information boxes which include: distance in miles and kilometres; start and finish points with Ordnance Survey references; type of terrain; and facilities en route. This title describes routes using many minor roads with such a negligable amount of traffic that make these routes ideal for cycling. Some routes are connected by using off road tracks and parts of the Forth and Clyde Canal towpath. The routes cover the entire periphery of Scotland's largest city and visit a variety of locations, including Milngavie to Mugdock Country Park and Balloch to Drymen on the outskirts of the city, also the former great shipbuilding centre of Clydebank.

This review is from: 25 Cycle Routes in and Around Glasgow: In and Around Glasgow (25 Cycle Routes Series) (Paperback)

So it was actually sunny. I wanted to get out on my bike and cycle. Enjoy the weather. Enjoy the scenery. Nature stuff. The problem is, I like to do more than just cycle. I like to know WHERE I'm cycling. I want to get more out of the experience than just pumping my legs up and down to get from A to B. This book by Erl B. Wilkie is great. It gave me some great ideas about where to cycle and, as a wonderful bonus, gave me some background history of the area too! Both types of comments (about the route and the history of the area) were put in words which were easy to understand and (dare I say?) humourous!

I'll think I may have to go and buy another copy; the one I have is worn out with use!
