Book Description
Whether on official cycle paths, abandoned railways or quiet country roads, these rides bring a fresh perspective to the areas covered. Each route described in the book is accompanied by a colour map and details of the distances involved, the terrain to be covered and the refreshments available along the way. A Foreword by the Cyclists Touring Club gives information on preparing for a run, safety and equipment.
As the CTC points out, cycling is healthy, environmentally-friendlyand above all, fun! In these days of pollution and transport breakdown the promotion of cycling becomes ever more important. Like the other titles in the 25 Cycle Routes series, this book is a practical demonstration of how to put the CTCs message into practiceand how to enjoy yourself while doing so!
In and Around Glasgow describes 25 cycle routes in Scotland's largest city and its surrounding countryside. From the semi-rural charm of the Forth-Clyde canal to the wild heights of northern Ayrshire; and from the parklands of Mugdock and the Carron Forest to the Edwardian grandeur of the City Centre, the variety of rides is wide and unexpected. Much to tempt experienced and novice cyclists alike.
