I last did this route about 12 years ago when I lived in Glasgow. Back then my preference was to do it on my mountain bike with the big knobbly tyres due to broken glass etc on the route.
Mrs Slioch and I are going to be in Glasgow this weekend and, in an act of unprecedented generosity, Mrs S has granted me some time off for good behaviour on Saturday. I suspect though that this is because she wants me out of the way so she can get hammered with her mates up the Byres Road (if anybody bumps into a group of smartly dressed but very loud middle aged women in Jinty's at around 4pm, I would give them a wide berth for your own safety ).
Anyway, the point is I will be taking a bike up with me, but which one? Mountain bike with knobbly tyres, or road bike with skinnies?
Can anyone who's done this route recently give me a steer please?
Cheers
