I've been training for PfS on the Paisley to Lochwinnoch/Kilbirnie/Irvine cycle path.

I normally park in the car park at (the old) Paisley Canal Street Station. There's a pub there which looks quite nice too - although all pubs look nice after the run.

The path is pretty good and mostly flat. Quite a few places to stop off for refreshments on the route too.

Would have been nice to do this one, but I can't make the 27th

I can't make the 27th either, but for those who do, Enjoy

I cannot make the 27th at present I am commited to supporting this event:

Should we make this the 26th, there seems to be a lot of folk that can't make that day, would the Saturday suit better?

Maybe we should have a poll to decide which day of the month future rides take place on?

Would 'the last weekend' do then it's just between 2 days - the Saturday or Sunday, we do a vote and the majority wins?

 

[Scoosh]

I'd much rather the Saturday ....

 

[Jane Smart]

Have to say, a Saturday suits me best too

 

[HJ]

Are we going to have one, or just call it PfS?

Vinega took me on a nice run from Glasgow to Kilmacolm earlier in the year. It was a wee bit hilly to Kilmacolm but there was a nice pub stop there (right at the start of the cyclepath) and a lovely well surfaced old railway line downhill cycle path to Paisley. The loop really starts/ends in central Paisley (it was good enough for Lance!). I think it was around 30 miles.
We started at Pollok Park in Glasgow (lots of car parking) and followed the NCN cyclepath to Paisley. It runs through a few schemes much like the Edinburgh one. Railway users could meet up in Paisley if preferred.

I have toastered this course, linky below.

Couple of steep bits and a bit of bad surface roads in Paisley. If you do it from Pollock it's a 40 mile loop, from Paisley Centlal or Canal St it's approx 30 miles AFAIR and from my house it's nearer fifty .

I was shown this route on a CTC ride when I used to be a member. We stopped for lunch in Kilmacolm at a nice pub.

I would be happy to lead the route - but not on that date!

Not much climbing then looks like it could be fun, which date would you like to lead it then?

Definitely worth keeping in mind for a future ride...

Those two hills are steep, but the first ascent is quite short and you are rewarded with a magnificent view of the Clyde Estuary. Good photo op and snack spot (whilst you get your breath back).

We could do this in October (17th on) or later I guess.
